Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Abstract What place do emotions have in a democratic public sphere? Traditional theories of public sphere carry suspicion towards emotions due to its assumed asocial, private nature. I problematize this assumption by examining the public discourse of two contentious episodes from the global justice movement where some emotions were represented as democratic while others were not. Drawing on insights from the sociology of emotions, I find that outwardly directed emotions such as hope, shame and pride are used to construct institutional actors while inwardly directed emotions such as anxiety are used to explain anger of the protesters. The media thus subtly construct state actors as publicly oriented and democratic while the protesters are constructed as holding private, inwardly directed emotions that are undemocratic.
