ABSTRACT

This chapter examines personal expressions of resilience revealed in how emotions were connected to various aspects of resilience in the Galilee. It looks at how, in the constructive phases, emotions shaped resilience, which was forged as a response, for instance, to youth experiences or to conflictual situations. The chapter observes the consequences and significances of emotional imprints on resilience through emotional retributions and the formation of "emotional communities". A study of life stories requires an approach to emotions in historical contexts. Study of the history of emotions has tried to trace and to understand processes of change in emotional reactions but also in cognitive approaches to emotions, both by individuals and by various human environments. "Emotional suffering" expresses an acute conflict with the emotional regime. "Emotional navigation" refers to the "self-altering effects of emotives", while "emotional refuge" provides "safe release from prevailing emotional norms".
