Mood: interdisciplinary perspectives, new theories

Mood is a phenomenon whose study is inherently interdisciplinary.

While it has remained resistant to theorisation, it nonetheless has a substantial influence on art, politics and society.

Since its practical omnipresence in every-day life renders it one of the most significant aspects of affect studies, it has garnered an increasing amount of critical attention in a number of disciplines across the humanities, sciences and social sciences in the past two decades.

This book provides a comprehensive theoretical and empirical exploration of the phenomenon of mood from an interdisciplinary angle.
