      abstract = {Emotional Ethics of The Hunger Games expands the ethical  turn in Film Studies by analysing emotions as a source of  ethical knowledge in The Hunger Games films. It argues that  emotions, incorporated in the thematic and aesthetic  organization of these films, reflect a crisis in moral  standards. As such they cultivate ethical attitudes towards  such phenomena as totalitarianism, the culture of reality  television, and the society of spectacle. The focus of the  argument is on cinematic aesthetics, which expresses  emotions in a way that highlights their ethical  significance, running the gamut from fear through guilt and  shame, to love, anger and contempt. The central claim of  the book is that these emotions are symptomatic of some  moral conflict, which renders The Hunger Games franchise a  meaningful commentary on the affective practice of  cinematic ethics.

Her previous books include Bodies in Pain:  Emotion and the Cinema of Darren Aronofsky (2015) and  Feeling Cinema: Emotional Dynamics in Film Studies (2011).},
