The Imperium of Arlie Russell Hochschild: Exploring the Depths of Human Emotions

Have you ever wondered why we, as humans, behave the way we do? What drives our emotions and actions? For decades, sociologist Arlie Russell Hochschild has been dedicated to understanding the intricacies of human emotions and their impact on our society. Her work has shed light on the complexities of our modern world and has revealed the imperium that exists within each individual.

Imperium, the Latin word for power or authority, perfectly encapsulates the essence of Hochschild's work. She has delved deep into the realms of human emotion, unraveling the mysteries that lie beneath the surface of our everyday interactions. Through her research, she has shown us that emotions are not simply fleeting feelings, but rather powerful forces that shape our relationships, society, and ultimately, our identity.

Hochschild's most influential work, "The Managed Heart: Commercialization of Human Feeling," explores the emotional labor that individuals in service industries must exert to meet the demands and expectations of their jobs. She examines how workers in occupations such as flight attendants and customer service representatives are required to display and manage their emotions to create a pleasant atmosphere for customers, despite any personal challenges they may be facing.

Furthering her exploration of emotions, Hochschild introduced the concept of emotional labor, which refers to the management of one's feelings to fulfill societal expectations. This idea has revolutionized our understanding of the emotional toll that certain occupations can have on individuals, and has prompted discussions on workers' rights and well-being in the workplace.

In her book, "Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right," Hochschild delves into the world of political emotions. By immersing herself in the lives of conservative citizens in Louisiana, she seeks to understand their hostility towards the liberal agenda and their embrace of right-wing ideologies. Through her empathetic approach, she uncovers the deep-seated fears, frustrations, and resentments that drive these individuals, ultimately highlighting the emotional dimensions of our political landscape.

Hochschild's work has received widespread acclaim and has been recognized with numerous accolades. Her insights into the complex interplay between emotions and society have brought about a paradigm shift in the field of sociology. She has challenged existing theories and paved the way for a deeper understanding of human behavior.

As we navigate the challenges of our ever-changing world, Hochschild's work reminds us of the importance of acknowledging and understanding our emotions. By recognizing the imperium that resides within us, we can cultivate empathy, bridge divides, and ultimately create a more compassionate and harmonious society.

This is Yockey's famous masterpiece. It is inspired by Oswald Spengler's Decline of the West. Imperium advocates the creation of a pan-European empire governed by sound principles or 'absolute politics'. It is divided into five parts, which are concerned with History, Politics, 'Cultural Vitalism', America and the World Situation. Imperium deals with doctrinal matters as well giving a survey of the 'world situation' in the 20th century. "In this book," writes Yockey, "are the precise, organic foundations of the Western soul, and in particular, its Imperative at the present stage." "...What is written here is also for the true America, even though the effective America of the moment, and of the immediate future is a hostile America, an America of willing, mass-minded tools in the service of the Culture-distorting political and total enemy of the Western Civilization." "The mission of this generation is the most difficult that has ever faced a Western generation. It must break the terror by which it is held in silence, it must look ahead, it must believe when there is apparently no hope, it must obey even if it means death, it must fight to the end rather than submit. ...The men of this generation must fight for the continued existence of the West..." "The soil of Europe, rendered sacred by the streams of blood which have made it spiritually fertile for a millennium, will once again stream with blood until the barbarians and distorters have been driven out and the Western banner waves on its home soil from Gibraltar to North Cape, from the rocky promontories of Galway to the Urals." The book's Chicago-born author, Francis P. Yockey, was just 30 years old when he wrote Imperium in six months in a quiet village on Ireland's eastern coast. His masterpiece continues to shape the thinking and steel the will of readers around the world.
