| Abstract
|
:
|
Over the last century and half, regimes of manners and emotions in the West have become less status ridden, stiff and rigid. This increasing informality, leniency and flexibility, comes hand-in-hand with a growing demand on individuals to self-regulate their emotions. Debates around Norbert Elias' theory of civilizing processes have given rise to questions regarding the direction of these changes: are civilizing processes changing direction? The theory of informalization will stimulate debates about changing balances of power and standards of manners, morals and emotion regulation. It will generate new avenues of inquiry and offer a broader scope on the present social condition of humanity.
