Free Expression and Coerced Choice: The Role of the Army and Lord Protector in Miltonic Freedom

Unmarked Emotional States and the Affective Anchoring of Continuity

Sociological Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Narratives around emotions often foreground remarkable episodes that interrupt situations, producing a “rollercoaster” image of emotional life that leaves its stability underdescribed.
