Violentes émotions: Approches comparatistes (Recherches Et Rencontres) - Tapa blanda

From eroticism to sacrifice, from martyrdom to terrorism, this book explores human responses to violence and other strongly emotional situations. Seen from a comparative anthropological perspective, myths and rites - and also poetry, whether it involves tragedy, love or mysticism - are all instances of the social dimension of a universal human experience: the experience of emotion.
