Omschrijving
"'Feeling democracy' sounds like a paradoxical practice as the normative foundation of liberal democracy is rationality. This book gives profound argumentations and examples to disentangle the emotional power dynamics in democracies from a global feminist and intersectional perspective. 'Feeling democracy' is especially important in times of right-wing challenges to liberal democracy and right-wing antagonistic affective mobilization across the globe."

"The need to think about feelings as being political is more urgent than ever, and this very smart collection of feminist essays deftly tracks past the persistent assumption that emotions undermine democracy. Feeling Democracy instead works with feelings, both good and bad, in order to offer timely insights for the current moment and new conceptions of what democracy looks—and feels—like."
