Emotional Plot
by Sophie Liu
Are the so-called "universal" emotions truly identical across the globe? Does an Ancient Greek feel the same when they φοβέομα (phobeomai, or to flee in fear) as, say, an Ancient Chinese person who 懼 (jù, or dreads and fears)? How different really is "péter un câble" (French for losing your temper or literally, bursting a cable) compared to "crash out"? Maybe you will find an answer to these questions in the podcast! Combining literature and psychology, this podcast examines the cultural forces that play a tremendous role in shaping how we characterize and manage our feelings. In a world of growing cultural plurality, understanding our emotions is crucial to understanding both our own identities and those of the people around us.
