“…(2) A strategy related to channelling the negative emotions raised in conflict situations into meaningful action. Earlier research has shown that unpleasant emotions such as violations of justice, humanity and dignity, humiliated the students), can motivate individuals to act against injustices and to look for fairer solutions to unjust issues (Batson et al, 2007;Holmes, 2004;Lorde, 1984;Lanas & Zembylas, 2014;Zembylas, 2007). Vuokko came up with a compromise in a situation where colleagues complained about the bad quality of the programme in a school festival.…”

“…Ranters often used profanity, loudness, rapid speech, and strongly-worded objections to problems. Anger is often “recognized as a response to perceived injustice” (Holmes, 2004: 123). In studies of emotion, mediated anger often feels more legitimate when it expresses collective rather than individual issues (Wahl-Jorgensen, 2018a).…”

Ranting has a bad reputation. But is it always deserved? Online ranting has been alternatively decried for its emotion-laden hostility and praised as a beloved video genre. By exploring a qualitative corpus of YouTube rant videos, this article analyzes how problem-centric rants may serve as forms of proto civic engagement. The article shows that problem-centric rants contribute to emotional public spheres, in which emotions and logic combine to publicize personally-experienced participatory problems and to contribute to civic discourse for others similarly impacted. It reveals the discourse strategies that ranters use to persuade viewers that the site’s policies and the behavior of other participants are complicating self-expression through video. Discourse strategies include counter-balancing criticism with praise, interpellating addressees into a civic public, and focusing criticisms on the powerful. The article contributes to research on social media-based civic engagement and emotional public spheres by analyzing rant videos that expose issues with tech- nologized and commercialized communicative frameworks in digital spaces.

“…James Jasper [77] highlights the pleasure, pride and sense of hope we experience when we express ourselves and our moral position when participating in collective actions such as protests. For Mary Holmes, anger "is the essential political emotion because it is a response to perceived injustice" [78]. Simon Thompson agrees: "The experience of anger is evidence of perceived injustice, and thus it gives people the impetus to engage in collective action in order to overcome this injustice" [79] (see also [80]), [81].…”

Set against a backdrop of austerity and neoliberal policies affecting many young people adversely, the Nuit Debout protest movement in France began in March 2016 when people gathered in public spaces to oppose the Socialist government’s plan to introduce neoliberal labour legislation. Like other post-2008 movements, Nuit Debout was leaderless, non-hierarchical, and relied on social media for political communication and to mobilise participants. The Nuit Debout was also a movement inspired by powerful moral-political emotions such as righteous anger and hope. In this article, the authors address two questions. First, what features of Nuit Debout distinguished it from earlier social movements in France? Second, what role did moral emotions play in mobilising people to act as they did? Drawing on interviews with young protestors and their own testimonies, we argue that Nuit Debout was a distinctive form of protest for France. One distinguishing feature was the way young people—the “precarious generation”—were motivated by a strong sense of situated injustice, much of which related to what they saw as the unfairness of austerity policies, being deprived of a decent future and the feeling they had been betrayed by governments.
