The worldwide predominance of affective anti-politics (e.g., the securitization of immigration policies, reactionism, terrorism, competitive authoritarianism, nationalism and populism, etc.) makes the political sociology of emotions increasingly necessary in making the prospects of democracy and republicanism in the twenty-first century more intelligible. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough a weak constructionist theoretical perspective, the book shows the utility of this new sub-field by addressing two central themes: trauma and \u003ci\u003eressentiment. \u003c\/i\u003eTrauma is considered as a key cultural-political phenomenon of our times, evoking both negative and positive emotions; \u003ci\u003eressentiment\u003c\/i\u003e is a pertaining individual and collective political emotion allied to insecurities and moral injuries. In tandem, they constitute fundamental experiences of late modern times. The value of the political sociology of emotions is revealed in the analysis of civil wars, cultural traumas, the politics of pity, the suffering of distant others in the media, populism, and national identities on both sides of the Atlantic. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNicolas Demertzis\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and Director of the National Centre for Social Research (EKKE).
