Citations in the corpus

• The Dark Side of Empathy: Mimesis, Deception, and the Magic of Alterity (2015, background): “Empathy is conventionally described as a powerful counteracting force that not only prevents the outbreak of violence (Halpern and Weinstein 2004), but also stops existing violence and creates third-party intervention (Wispé 1991: 169–71; see also Hollan and Throop 2008: 397).”
• What do I Care? Perceived Ingroup Responsibility and Dehumanization as Predictors of Empathy Felt for the Victim Group (2009, background): “So, recognizing the other as human beings with hopes, concerns, etc. might be a prerequisite for perceiving and being moved by the others’ pain and suffering (Halpern & Weinstein, 2004).”
• Pedagogies of strategic empathy: navigating through the emotional complexities of anti-racism in higher education (2012, background): “In particular, this interpretation emphasizes the link between the process of rehumanization of the other and empathy (Halpern and Weinstein 2004 ), that is, the process which sees the other in human terms (Gobodo-Madikizela 2008).”
• ‘When saying you care is not really caring’: emotions of disgust, whiteness ideology, and teacher education (2014, background): “Notably, while empathy involves recognizing the other’s complex point of view, it does not require adopting the other’s point of view (Halpern & Weinstein, 2004).”
• Emotional Reconciliation (2008, background): “In so doing the suffering and trauma of others may ‘resonate emotionally’, thereby providing an understanding of how another feels and why they may feel the things they do (Halpern and Weinstein, 2004: 579–82).”
