This book explores how sensibilities are cultivated through civic action. It traces the conditions under which they flourish, circulate and shape collective life. Moving beyond episodic and exceptionalist understandings of crises, it examines how intertwined social, political and ecological issues nurture both personal experience and collective ways of feeling.Drawing on pragmatist sociology, this book develops a novel account of emotions as (an)aesthetic attunements to problematic situations and introduces the concept of civic aesthetics to investigate how emotions leave lasting effects through civic action on what people learn to perceive, value and feel. Through four ethnographic studies of refugee hospitality, climate activism, environmental conflict and multispecies solidarity, it shows how citizens not only respond to social problems but also make them perceptible, meaningful and collectively felt. In doing so, they contribute to the creation of new forms of democratic life while exposing the tensions, ambivalences and unintended consequences that accompany civic engagement.Addressed to scholars and students of the sociology of emotions, political science, migration and environmental studies, as well as to activists and practitioners, this book offers a distinctive contribution to contemporary debates on emotions, democracy and crisis. More broadly, it speaks to anyone interested in understanding how we learn to feel and act together in uncertain times.

This book explores the disruptive dimension of care: its activist capacity to foster new forms of affective citizenship and to generate civic responsibilities that challenge established political orders. Drawing on a comparative ethnography of migrant solidarity networks in Turin and Florence, Italy, this book follows the lived experiences of volunteers, host families, activists, professionals and local communities involved in welcoming migrants. It brings to light the intimate conflicts, ethical dilemmas and emotional transformations through which care becomes a site for disruptive forms of citizenship. Far from being a simple act of assistance or social maintenance, care emerges in these contexts as a transformative practice that unsettles moral hierarchies, dismantles political boundaries and crosses affective barriers, opening up unprecedented spaces of participation, creativity and political imagination. In the context of restrictive migration policies and the growing precarity of rights, this volume rethinks care as a form of collective action, and offers an integrated reading of care, emotions and citizenship, revealing how, in the ordinary and disruptive gestures of caring solidarity with migrants, a crucial part of the democratic future is at stake.
