These lectures, a workshop, and a walk through our own university building explore politics and history in their emotional and affective dimension. During three days, we interact in different formats to approach and discuss the role of emotions in politics with teachers, students from the University of Vienna and guest scientists from universities in Kaohsiung (ROC Taiwan). We discuss “politics of compassion” (Xu), and other forms of emotional manipulation on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
