Entangled emotions and quantum social theory

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

This chapter explores what a quantum onto-epistemology is bringing and might further bring to the study of emotions and affect in international politics. The first section examines existing scholarship in IR at the intersection between the study of emotions and quantum social theory, which sets the stage for looking, in section two, at empirical examples relating to forced displacement and war to illustrate the relevance to a concept of entangled emotions. The third section examines some of the potentials and limitations of a quantum approach to emotions
