Fear, worry, indignation, hate, contempt as well as trust, hope, compassion, empathy, or sympathy are regarded as both drivers of protest movements and a factor in processes of opinion formation, seem to guarantee the solidarity of political entities, and are responsible for crowd psychology phenomena like coups and revolutions or for the collapse of such movements into terror and horror. This book contributes to current debates surrounding the legitimacy of political emotions by taking a look at the history of art and literature: What iconographies do current politics of emotion draw on, to which long-since coded dramaturgies do social movements adhere, and what familiar narratives of mobilizing or containing political emotions are taken up?
Compiled in the context of the international Warburg seminar Political Emotions in the Arts, this volume goes back to the interdisciplinary sessions held in 2018, in which doctoral candidates and young academics from various fields discussed their work. The seminar was held from October 15 to 18, 2018, at the Warburg-Haus Hamburg, in joint cooperation of Universität Hamburg and the Aby Warburg Foundation.

Zwei Meter, vielleicht drei. Weiter wagen wir uns nicht vor die Türe des Hotels, bis uns der peitschende Wind mit zerzausten Haaren wieder zurückgehen lässt. In Taipeh fegt der Taifun. Während des Wirbelsturms lassen die staatlichen Vorgaben das öffentliche Leben brachliegen, Schulen und…
