Affective-discursive practices of anger and indignation in the sustainability of Victorian ideology

Abstract

The study rests on the assumption that the sustainability of power distribution in the Victorian society dwells on the ratio of anger and indignation feeling rules in the affective-discursive practices of the times and beyond. The article substantiates the conjecture about the discursive prevalence of indignant distancing practices pertinent to the dominant social groups and the lack of enthusiasm in the display of negative judgment of anger that is enough to incense the outrage of rebel among the subordinated.
