Emotions underpin how political communities are formed and
function. Nowhere is this more pronounced than in times of trauma.
The emotions associated with suffering caused by war, terrorism,
natural disasters, famine and poverty can play a pivotal role in
shaping communities and orientating their politics. This book
investigates how 'affective communities' emerge after trauma.
Drawing on several case studies and an unusually broad set of
interdisciplinary sources, it examines the role played by
representations, from media images to historical narratives and
political speeches. Representations of traumatic events are crucial
because they generate socially embedded emotional meanings which,
in turn, enable direct victims and distant witnesses to share the
injury, as well as the associated loss, in a manner that affirms a
particular notion of collective identity. While ensuing political
orders often re-establish old patterns, traumatic events can also
generate new 'emotional cultures' that genuinely transform national
and transnational communities.
