Wie Kinder fühlen lernten

Feelings are innate to us and have always been the same? Not at all. It is only through engagement with their social and cultural environment that children learn how and what they are allowed to feel and how to express those feelings. The 13 authors demonstrate that feelings and notions of "proper feeling" have changed significantly over the past 150 years. They use children's books and guides for this purpose, as children not only observe the behavior of others but also look to fictional characters they encounter in stories and films.
