"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"..
