Historicizing both emotions and politics, this open access book
argues that the historical work of emotion is most clearly
understood in terms of the dynamics of institutionalization. This
is shown in twelve case studies that focus on decisive moments in
European and US history from 1800 until today. Each case study
clarifies how emotions were central to people's political
engagement and its effects. The sources range from parliamentary
buildings and social movements, to images and speeches of
presidents, from fascist cemeteries to the International Criminal
Court. Both the timeframe and the geographical focus have been
chosen to highlight the increasingly participatory character of
nineteenth- and twentieth-century politics, which is inconceivable
without the work of emotions.
