Rigorous, empirical, and grounded in fifty years of cumulative work in conversation analysis and discursive psychology.

The book covers crying and upset, laughter, and anger, using intensive analysis of real cases. There's a full methods chapter for researchers interested to do this kind of work themselves, and a theoretical chapter mapping the relationship to existing frameworks.

Kenneth Gergen calls it

"an entirely new landscape of understanding and inquiry into the emotions"

Moving emotional study out of the laboratory and into real-life settings where emotion's interdependent functioning in ongoing relationships can finally be examined.

Emotionography works with video and audio recordings of real interaction: child protection helplines, family mealtimes, therapy sessions, political interviews.

Transcribed in enough detail to catch what participants themselves attend to.

This is emotion in the wild, not the lab.

What you won't find: emotion as it actually unfolds, in real conversation, in real settings. That gap is what this book fills. We feel that no course on emotion will be complete without it.

Open any handbook of emotion research. You'll find basic emotion theory, appraisal theory, behavioural ecology. Experiments, scales, surveys, maybe intensive interviews. Impressive coverage.

Potter and Hepburn had me at Chapter 1—with quotable
gems that kept me smiling and my highlighter running. You will never experience, study, and conceptualize emotions the same way again.

70 years ago, C. Wright Mills showed that the ascription of motives was an interactional process. Now Potter and Hepburn have done the same for emotions.

Central thesis:

There is, of course, an intriguing circularity in using experiments to find out if there are experimental (demand) effects.

If you know students or colleagues working on emotion who might be curious about recordings-based research, do pass this along.

Arlie Russell Hochschild called emotionography:
“a magnifying glass… to see, in breathtaking detail, the expression of emotion as it occurs in situations both alarming and real.”

We study emotion using recordings of natural interaction (audio/video from real settings), analysed with conversation analysis and discursive psychology to show how emotion is displayed, oriented to, and managed moment-to-moment.

Out shortly with APA books:

Emotionography: Theory, Research, and Practice (Potter & Hepburn).
