What will be an ideal response?


We “do” emotions in the form of emotion work. This refers to efforts to alter (i.e., manage) the intensity or type of feelings one is experiencing. Emotion work involves attempts to either evoke particular feelings we want or think we should experience as well as attempts to suppress the experience of undesired feelings. Directly related to the notion of emotion work is emotional labor, in which one’s deep acting is sold for a wage. Thus, inner feelings are managed in order to produce an outward display as part of one’s job.
