Authenticity and Emotions

Abstract

Bringing together research on political performance and affective communication, this panel explores how authenticity cues, stylistic transgression, and performative communication intersect with the emotional dynamics of contemporary politics across platforms, languages, and political cultures. It examines phenomena such as incivility, moral judgement, and online hostility, as well as their consequences for political actors, public discourse, and democratic norms.
