Abstract

This article aims to propose a methodological framework for the study of political and social processes, combining conceptual history with the history of emotions through the category of emotional language. Emotional languages involve analyzing how a fundamental political concept (order and revolution) is emotionalized through an emotional constellation composed of a network of feelings that express different intensities (fear, horror, dread, uncertainty). Synchronically, the intentional and contextual uses of emotions imply addressing how this constellation is reconceptualized according to the political and intellectual disputes that have occurred since diachrony. This methodology is put into practice through a case study, demonstrating that authoritarian emotional language, characterized by the defense of order through an emotional constellation based on fear and its derivatives, experienced two crises to the extent that the dosage of this feeling and the positive revaluation of the word revolution generated a politicization and temporalization in citizenship. This led, from a conceptual and emotional perspective, to the civil wars of 1851 and 1859. After this last event, the decline of authoritarian emotional language can be observed, with the new order being legitimised through an emotional constellation based on happiness, fraternity and hope.
