The words that come closest to denoting it in English are \u003cem\u003ebeing moved\u003c\/em\u003e or\u003cem\u003e touched, having a heart-warming feeling, feeling nostalgic, feeling patriotic, \u003c\/em\u003eor\u003cem\u003e pride in family or team\u003c\/em\u003e. In religious contexts when the emotion is intense, it may be labeled \u003cem\u003eecstasy, mystical rapture, burning in the bosom, or being touched by the Spirit.\u003c\/em\u003e All of these are instances of what scientists now call 'kama muta' (Sanskrit, 'moved by love'). Alan Page Fiske shows that what evokes this emotion is the sudden creation, intensification, renewal, repair, or recall of a communal sharing relationship - when love ignites, or people feel newly connected. He explains the social, psychological, cultural, and likely evolutionary processes involved - and how they interlock.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKama muta is described as it manifests in diverse settings at many points in history across scores of cultures, in everyday experiences as well as the peak moments of life. The chapters illuminate the occurrence of kama muta in a range of contexts, including religion, oratory, literature, sport, social media, and nature. The book will be of interest to students and scholars from a number of disciplines who are interested in emotion or social relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSupplementary notes can be found online at: www.routledge.com\/9780367220945\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlan Page Fiske\u003c\/strong\u003e is Distinguished Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, Los Angeles, CA, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 388\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9.4 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 11, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42711066542143,"sku":"9780367220945","price":112.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/2ee6ae8933ebed17eab177bb5dac4db8.webp?v=1765057183","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/kama-muta-discovering-the-connecting-emotion-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
