The Cultural Politics of Emotion, published in 2004 by Edinburgh University Press and Routledge, is a book by Sara Ahmed focusing on the relationship between emotions, language, and bodies.[1] Ahmed concentrates on the influence of emotions on the body and the ways in which bodies relate with communities, producing social relationships that determine the rhetoric of the nation.[2] The book contributes to the growing conversation about emotion in rhetoric and cultural studies and employs a variety of theories including rhetorical theory, queer theory, feminist theory, Marxist theory, and poststructuralist theory of language.[2]
