Emotions: History, Culture, Society

Emotions: History, Culture, Society (EHCS) is a peer-reviewed multidisciplinary biannual
journal published for the Society for the History of Emotions (SHE). EHCS welcomes
theoretically informed work from a range of historical, cultural and social domains.
We aim to illuminate: the ways emotion is conceptualised and understood in different
temporal or cultural settings, from antiquity to the present, and across the globe; the
impact of emotion on human action and in processes of change; and the influence
of emotional legacies from the past on current social, cultural and political practices.
