| Sumario: | This article introduces the special issue ‘Affective polarisation as a social and democratic challenge’. Initially, it presents a brief state of the art on affective polarisation studies and the main explanatory theories deployed so far. Then, two main avenues of research to be explored in the future are identified: depolarisation interventions and the understanding of the communicative-strategic dynamics of the phenomenon. Finally, the different articles that contribute to this volume are presented, addressing diverse topics such as misperceptions, the emotions triggered by the extreme right, the connection between affective polarisation, cultural backlash and populist attitudes, the impact of the media diet or the implementation of online corrections oriented towards fact-checking. |
