• The politics of feeling in Brexit Britain: stories from the Mass Observation Project (Jonathan Moss, Emily Robinson, Jake Watts, 2024)

  During Brexit, political questions were continually framed in emotional terms. The referendum was presented as a conflict between reason and resentment, fear and hope, heads and hearts. The Leave vote was interpreted as the triumph of passion over rationality, and its aftermath triggered concerns about the divisive impact of feelings on political culture. This book examines how these stories about feelings shaped public experiences and determined political possibilities.
