Pensadores clásicos y modernos se han detenido en esta cuestión. En la actualidad, el estudio de las emociones en política toma un nuevo impulso a partir de la revolución tecnológica de la comunicación, que le permite al individuo llevar al máximo su capacidad de expresión. En este contexto, surge el Homo Digitalis, un sujeto político que se destaca por una respuesta emotiva ante la escasez de tiempo y la saturación de información, refugiándose en un mismo mensaje junto a quienes comparten su identidad. El Homo Digitalis se encuentra inmerso en un "estado de campaña negativa permanente" que deviene en una polarización afectiva negativa característico del hecho de moralizar el escenario político. Con ello, la Democracia avanza en un nuevo estadio que puede caracterizarse con el neologismo de “Emocracia”.The analysis of emotions in the realm of politics is not exclusive to the 21st century. Classical and modern thinkers have delved into this matter. Nowadays, the study of emotions in politics gains new momentum with the technological revolution of communication, which allows individuals to maximize their expressive capacity. In this context, Homo Digitalis emerges, a political subject characterized by an emotive response to time scarcity and information saturation, seeking refuge in a singular message alongside those who share their identity. Homo Digitalis is immersed in a "permanent state of negative campaigning" that leads to a negative affective polarization characteristic of moralizing the political scene. Thus, democracy advances into a new stage that can be characterized with the neologism of "Emocracy".1-24esopenAccessDemocraciaPolíticaHomo DigitalisPolarizaciónEmocraciaarticuloAutores y Cuadernos del CIESALhttps://doi.org/10.35305/cc.v1i23.148Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International You are free to: Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material The licensor cannot revoke these freedoms as long as you follow the license terms.
