"Qui sembra la misèria, recull la ràbia": el fluir de las emociones en el independentismo catalán actual.

This article is based on research carried out on the relationship between politics and emotions in the Catalan pro-independence movement. It proposes to situate emotions as an essential field of study in relation to contemporary politics and delve into the emotional valence of politics and the political valence of emotions to identify which emotions are most frequently activated in this movement. Emotions are not seen as negative or positive, or more or less political, but as ambivalent, politically productive, and as a complex assemblage. Research shows how emotions do not appear in isolation but in relation; their relationships change depending on the militancy, the political moment, the personal moment and age. Gender has little effect on the activation and configuration of emotions, according to the data. In relation to the Catalan independence process, the most relevant emotions according to the informants are fear and, far behind, anger, pride, shame, happiness and illusion. Among the multiple existing possibilities, a rather limited repertoire of emotions is mobilized, the maximum activation of which occurs in relation to specific moments identified as key moments by the informants.
