Description:
Significant Emotions is a piercing examination of the rising use of emotional signifiers in public debate and the rhetoric of an increasingly expansive array of social problems. Building on ideas developed in Ashley Frawley's previous book, Semiotics of Happiness, it examines in detail the 'emotional turn' across the social sciences and the broader cultural rise of the 'age of emotion' and its influence on how we talk about and approach new social issues.




The book explores the rise of supposedly 'positive' emotional signifiers that have gained prominence as powerful causes of and solutions to nearly every social ill from promoting self-esteem, happiness and mindfulness to concerns for well-being and mental health. Conceptualizing the rise and comparative decline of these emotional signifiers as cycles of discovery, adoption, expansion, and exhaustion, the book argues that rather than calling into question one or another of these signifiers, it is necessary to penetrate deeper to the underlying cultural currents that drive their adoption and contribute to their rhetorical power.

Great product for kids! Or adults!
I love that this has refill sizes! I’ve been using it since my son was born. Great smell, good ingredients, and truly no tears! My son is bathing himself now, and he handles the pump with ease. The product washes out easily, and leaves hair soft. No need for conditioner!

Wish there was other smells available
I actually really love this product, the only reason why I gave a 4 and not a 5 is only because I wish they had different smells, I like the nighttime version better but they don’t make refills for that smell and only this one. I have decided to try out a different product (Jergen), so we shall see if I come back to babyganics or not.
