We also owe a great debt to our editor Jill Lake and her assistant Melanie Blair at Palgrave, who have been unfailingly supportive and helpful about this endeavour. We are extremely grateful to the participants in the Matters of Feeling seminar series, out of which this book grew, and to Economy and Society for funding meetings of this study group. Participants in the earlier Affect, Ethics and Citizenship seminar series also had a powerful influence on this book’s concerns. In particular, we would like to acknowledge the thought-provoking, insightful and generous con- tributions of the late Ian Craib, who was involved with this project at its beginning. viii Notes on the Contributors Perri 6 is Professor of Social Policy at Nottingham Trent University. He is author or co-author of more than 20 books and numerous articles. He is well-known for his contribution to the development of the neo- Durkheimian institutional theory. His recent books include Managing networks of twenty first century organisations (with N Goodwin, E Peck and F Freeman, 2006), Beyond ‘delivery’: policy implementation as sense- making and settlement(with E Peck, 2006), E-governance: styles of political judgment in the information age polity (2004), and Towards holistic governance: the new reform agenda(with D Leat, K Seltzer and G Stoker, 2002), and he is currently working on another book to be published in 2007 with Christine Bellamy and Charles Raab on the tensions between joined-up government and confidentiality. Andrew Cooper is Professor of Social Work at the University of East London and the Tavistock Clinic. He is also a practising psychoana- lytic psychotherapist who has always taken an interest in the applica- tion of psychoanalytic thinking within the public sphere, and in the development of cross-disciplinary theoretical models of psycho-social phenomena. Stephan Feuchtwang is a professorial research associate of the Depart- ment of Anthropology, London School of Economics. His current research interest is an anthropology of history, which he is currently pursuing by enquiry into the transmission of grievous loss and which in turn will lead him to joint projects of research on self-realisation, its hopes and ambivalence, its frustration, and its substantiation at the expense of ‘others’. His main area of research has been China and Taiwan, but now it includes Germany.
