Framing Human Experience

“Framing Human Experience: Language, Culture, and Affect” offers an interdisciplinary exploration into the multifaceted ways human realities are constructed, perceived, and navigated through linguistic structures, cultural frameworks, and affective responses. This volume brings together scholars from diverse fields to investigate how experiences, ranging from the intimate sense of ‘home’ to societal phenomena like violence and disinformation, are articulated and understood across various contexts. By integrating these diverse analytical perspectives and case studies spanning multiple languages and historical periods, the volume illuminates the intricate, dynamic interplay between our linguistic tools, cultural inheritances, and affective lives. It offers valuable insights for scholars and students interested in how meaning of human experience is made, contested, and experienced in a complex world.
