Introducing Mood Work
Ben Highmore, Jenny Bourne Taylor
Abstract
In this introduction we suggest a number of ways that mood has been and can be a productive way to approach various forms of labour including: the emotional expenditure of those that care either professionally or as ‘voluntary’ labourers; the pedagogic labour of teaching; and the mood work of the state and the media. The introduction also introduces the main themes of the essays in this special issue.
