This book explores negative emotions like anger, fear and grief as
important drivers of political action. It examines how treating
these feelings as medical problems affects society. Drawing on the
political thought of Hannah Arendt, the book develops an original
understanding of political emotions as fragile and vulnerable to
attacks disputing their relevance to public life. It presents and
analyses four case studies of emotional politics in the UK, ranging
from assertions that UKIP supporters were emotionally primitive to
diagnoses of anxiety disorder in the Brexit referendum's aftermath.
It demonstrates how ideas of emotion and mental disorder might be
used to both empower and disempower people politically.
