Political emotions: the collective construction of emotional life

The purpose of the project is to investigate the processes of historical construction of collective emotional life in its most political dimension, that is, the one linked to the exercise of power and the transformation of power relations at the micro-social level as well as at the macro-political and global level. The project seeks to emphasize the deconstruction of rhetoric, discourses and metanarratives that give meaning to political life in society and to individual action.
