- In a panoramic sweep, Feeling the strain provides an insight into the rise of emotional capitalism through its exploration of everyday stress. Doctoral research as well as a year-long Mass Observation Fellowship produced a work that is underpinned by extensive research in the Mass Observation Archive, British Library Sound Archive’s Millennium Collection, self-help books, corporate records, social scientific research and popular culture. As such, the study marshals a range of revealing sources, placing individual voices at its heart, to inform historical understanding of what is now the ubiquitous experience of stress.
