Abstract

The numerous virtual learning environments experienced during the pandemic in the academic field highlight the need for a complex pragmatic analytical approach that considers the centrality of the pedagogical relationship and its personal and social consequences. When faced with societies threatened by permanent global risks, the possibility of going back to a central and classical theme like the formation of the good citizen appears as paramount. The centrality of the relational and personal approach and the importance of the political dimension of education evoke the relevance attributed by M. Nussbaum to public emotions in the formation of a democratic society. Why could it be important today to think of higher education in the light of Nussbaum's approach to public emotions? And how is it possible to arouse public emotions, furthermore in a virtual educational environment for example in a course at an online university?

The contribution is divided into two sections. The first is dedicated to understanding the sociological relevance that Nussbaum's approach to public emotions could have in the academic field. The second deals with the analysis of the forms that public emotions could take during an experimental teaching practice in a course delivered in blended mode in an online university.
