"Political Emotions explores the contributions that the study of discourses, rhetoric, and framing of emotion make to understanding the public sphere, civil society and the political realm. Tackling critiques on the opposition of the public and private spheres, chapters in this volume examine why some sentiments are valued in public communication while others are judged irrelevant, and consider how sentiments mobilize political trajectories. Emerging from the work of the Public Feelings research group at the University of Texas-Austin, and cohering in a New Agendas in Communication symposium, this volume brings together the work of young scholars from various areas of study, including sociology, gender studies, anthropology, art, and new media. The essays in this collection formulate new ways of thinking about the relations among the emotional, the cultural, and the political. Contributors recraft familiar ways of doing critical work, and bring forward new analyses of emotions in politics. Their work expands understanding of the role of emotion in the political realm, and will be influential in political communication, political science, sociology, and visual and cultural studies."--Publisher description.

The study of emotions is primarily related to psychology, although other sciences also pay enough attention to this problem. The authors of the article make a brief review of the researches carried out by linguists in the sphere of emotions. The readers are suggested a survey describing a number of key Russian and Kazakhstani scientists involved into studying emotions. The popularity of studying emotional features of lexemes and texts has not diminished over the years. On the contrary the linguists as well as psychologists and scientist of other fields of science devote a lot of time and efforts to the issues related to emotions. There is a considerable number of researches devoted to the study of the verbal-conceptual set of emotions in modern linguistics, but the science of language is not yet ready to answer all the questions related to the manifestation of emotionality in the language. So, this research paper deals with the aspects of studying emotions in linguistics

Kujala (2017) provides an excellent overview of most aspects of emotion in dogs; however, she does not cover a few fields of research that I think are also relevant to the topic. In this commentary, I discuss the current state of our knowledge regarding cognitive decline and behavioral disorders in dogs as potential models for human neurodegenerative disease and mental illness; how emotion and cognition in dogs interact with sex, gonadectomy, and sexual behavior; as well as the transformative potential of functional MRI imaging of the conscious dog brain in the study of comparative neurophysiology.

The "affective turn" is often viewed as a turn away from poststructuralism, in the belief that linguistic or constructivist models are incapable of accounting for the principally biological or materialist category of "affect." This article argues that affect is, however, central to deconstruction, notably to its conception of the political. For Derrida, the affectionate bonds that tie us to ourselves and to others are always accompanied by anxiety in the face of incalculable loss or destruction. This paradox has important implications for the "politics of deconstruction," considered here as an attempt to think through the structural contamination of affect and technics.

This paper formulates a general theory of how political unrest influences public policy. Political unrest is motivated by emotions. Individuals engage in protests if they are aggrieved and feel that they have been treated unfairly. This reaction is predictable because individuals have a consistent view of what is fair. This framework yields novel insights about the sources of political influence of different groups in society. Even if the government is benevolent and all groups have access to the same technology for political participation, equilibrium policy can be distorted. Individuals form their view of what is fair taking into account the current state of the world. If fewer aggregate resources are available, individuals accept a lower level of welfare. This resignation effect in turn induces a benevolent government to procrastinate unpleasant policy choices.
