Short summary

In view of the increasingly polarising and emotionally charged geopolitical debates of recent times of war, the present article aims to understand the relationship between emotions and geopolitical imaginations with reference to Sara Ahmed's Cultural Politics of Emotions and introduces a methodologically viable approach for a qualitative-interpretative analysis of the emotionalisations of geopolitical discourses.
