In this episode, Richard Kemp speaks with Anna Durnova, one of the guest editors for the Emotions and Society special issue on ‘Emotions and the ‘Truths’ of Contentious Politics: Advances in Research on Emotions, Knowledge, and Contemporary Contentious Politics’.
They discuss the weaponisation of truth, the important difference between being told you are safe and feeling you are safe and the need to bring the harnessing of emotions back to democracy.
