Berlant, Lauren

SUMMARY

In Compassion , ten scholars draw on literature, psychoanalysis, and social history to provide an archive of cases and genealogies of compassion. Together these essays demonstrate how "being compassionate" is shaped by historical specificity and social training, and how the idea of compassion takes place in scenes that are anxious, volatile, surprising, and even contradictory.Berlant, Lauren is the author of 'Compassion The Culture and Politics of an Emotion', published 2004 under ISBN 9780415970518 and ISBN 0415970512.
