Anger, Fear, Affective Injustice, Agency, EcoactivismAbstract
One of the most relevant axes of the theory of anger developed by Guillermo Lariguet in Hate and Anger is the identification of a specific temporality for this key public emotion. In this article, I examine the consequences of this point of the argument to scrutinize certain characteristics of anger in its relationship with fear, as they are brought into play in political interventions such as eco–activism. This exploration also seeks to discuss its relationship with a political concept, particularly one that is crossed and/or constituted by the affective dimension: the idea of crisis. The development of this analysis leads to examining how the debates on emotional injustice and the aptitude for anger discussed by Lariguet generate a particular concept political agency.
