“…I also made a choice to focus on the meaning of the words rather than their grammar. Considering that I have had to exclude linguistic work which would have deserved a place in this article, it is not within my scope to extend the overview to recent work on English words for emotions by historians, such as Dixon (2003) and Frevert et al (2014). I will also not dwell on linguistic research on words for emotions in Present-day English, unless it was conducted to compare Present-day English with an earlier variety of English.…”

The aim of this article is to give a general idea of how meanings of single emotion words, and configurations between words, change historically, reflecting changes in people's understanding of emotions. The article provides a selective overview of linguistic research on the histories of a number of English words for emotions. It focuses on changes in the words emotion and mood as well as analyzing terms for the specific emotions of anger, fear, happiness, joy, love, pride, respect, and sorrow. This article also suggests that it is possible to use linguistic data in order to recover some "psychological" information about emotions, such as information on people's responses to them.

“…Emotions history as a field has typically relied upon textual sources, considering the evolving languages used to conceptualize and communicate particular emotional states (see for example, Reddy 2001;Dixon 2003;Frevert 2011;Frevert et al 2014). Thirteen years after Rosenwein's statement, objects remain conspicuous by their absence in Jan Plamper's (2015: 294-296) list of future sources for the study of emotions by historians, which includes written, visual, and audio sources.…”

“…22 They highlight, in one way or another, the role of the body -be it as locus of some unnamed affective potential, or be it by focusing on what might be called, in a rather loose sense, 'emotional practices', even though the articles do not always employ this language. The articles address what people did to influence, shape and perform their own and others' emotions and feelings; or, to phrase this in a way that implies perhaps less intentionality and agency, how people's 'doings' (Scheer) shaped their emotions.…”

It might seem trivial and mere common sense to note that revolts and revolutions are deeply emotional moments. In history books and newspapers, we read about the tense and emotionally charged atmosphere that leads to violence when protestors confront police forces, or about furious and passionate crowds acting in defiance of the ideal of rational and coldblooded politics. But rage and anger are not the only emotions involved in the politics of protest. Consider the iconic photographs of the summer strikes during the French Popular Front in 1936, depicting smiling workers occupying their factories and construction sites, or the cheering crowds storming the Berlin Wall in November 1989. Or consider the genre of protest songs, telling stories of solidarity and hope as well as deep sorrow. At times, social and political movements even made feelings their central concern, such as the hippy movement with its calls for free love. On the other side of the political spectrum, conservative as well as social democratic observers often denounced protests and riots as politically irrelevant outbreaks of hatred, or mocked the ‘hysterical’ fear of the peace movement during the 1980s. Somehow, these examples suggest, feelings mattered, yet how precisely they mattered is rarely investigated. The essays in this special issue will address this question in order to enrich our understanding of protest movements, revolts and revolutions. Collectively, they intend to open a theoretical and methodological debate on the role of emotions in the politics of protest and resistance.
