N2  - 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. Tarja Laine is Assistant Professor in Film Studies at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Her previous books include Bodies in Pain: Emotion and the Cinema of Darren Aronofsky (2015) and Feeling Cinema: Emotional Dynamics in Film Studies (2011).
