The project explores to what extent emotions become a matter of dispute in current conflicts about social coexistence. We investigate how emotion repertoires are negotiated and established at the intersection of literary and political activist public spheres. Our aim is to make a contribution informed by both sociological and literary studies perspectives to the analysis of an increased valorization of emotions in Germany’s current political culture.
