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.




Through a systematic and in-depth exploration of the appearance of these trends in a variety of claims-making activities across academia, traditional and social media, and social policy, Frawley argues that the 'age of emotion' does not represent a step toward a more enlightened and emotionally aware society.

Effortless Can Opening – A Game Changer in the Kitchen!
I absolutely love this Automatic Electric Can Opener! It makes opening cans so much easier and completely hands-free. No more struggling with manual openers or sharp edges—this gadget does all the work for you with just the push of a button. The smooth edge cutting is a huge plus because it keeps my family safe from accidental cuts. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and works perfectly with just a couple of batteries. I especially appreciate it when I’m multitasking in the kitchen because it saves so much time and effort. Honestly, it’s a must-have tool for anyone who cooks regularly, and it would be a great gift for seniors or anyone with hand pain or arthritis. Highly recommend—it has truly made my kitchen life easier!

Works great on many different size cans
Works great on various size cans. It is a little larger that other openers, but seems very sturdy. It is a little loud and slow, but not a large concern. Very happy with it.
