Routledge Political Emotions - New Agendas in Communication

Explore the connection between human sentiment and the political realm with Political Emotions. Part of the New Agendas in Communication series from Routledge, this volume examines how discourses, rhetoric, and the framing of emotion impact the public sphere and civil society. This book addresses critiques regarding the separation of public and private spheres. It investigates why certain sentiments are treated as valuable in public communication while others are dismissed as irrelevant. By analyzing how these feelings mobilize political trajectories, the text provides a deep look into the mechanics of modern communication. Developed from the research conducted by the Public Feelings research group at the University of Texas-Austin, this work offers a cohesive look at how emotion functions within political structures. It is an essential resource for those studying sociology, anthropology, and communication theory.
