Title: Sarah Sorial
The expression of anger in the public sphere
What role, if any, does the expression of anger play in public
deliberations or public life? In what circumstances is the expression of
anger appropriate, if at all, and what does it achieve? Expressions of
anger are abundant in public discourse and deliberation. Often, they are in
response to some legitimate injustice that has occurred. Yet some
expressions of anger seem appropriate, while others do not, even in
response to the same event.
In this paper, I defend three main claims: first, that expressions of anger
can function as a kind of performance in the public sphere; second, that
these performances may have an important, albeit, very limited role to play
in public deliberations. Third, that expressions of anger should be
constrained by two important conditions: first, expressions of anger should
carefully and accurately identify the source of the injustice in order to
avoid the misattribution of blame for the wrongdoing. Second while it may
be justifiable to express anger to communicate that an injustice has
occurred, speakers should not advocate for violent retribution in how that
wrongdoing is rectified.
