Affective contestation: Dynamics of a contested emotional politics in European migration policy (D04*)

该项目考察了一方面由欧盟国家机构传达和动员的情感曲目与另一方面由质疑国家当局情感政治的活动家网络(“自下而上的影响”)表达的情感之间的动态相互作用。该项目将情感政治定义为出于政治目的处理、培养、操纵或模仿情感和情感表达的政治话语和实践。

The project examines the dynamic interplay between, on the one hand, emotional repertoires communicated and mobilized by state institutions in the EU and, on the other hand, articulations of emotions by activist networks (“affects from below”) that question the emotional politics of state authorities. The project defines emotional politics as political discourses and practices that address, cultivate, manipulate or mimic emotions and emotional expressions for political purposes.
