infactispax-1098	Ruitenberg, Claudia	Conflict, Affect and the Political: On Disagreement as Democratic Capacity	2010	16	.pdf	application/pdf	7486	288	41	In this paper I will focus on the role of affect in political disagreement and argue that political education ought to provide opportunities to foster affective attachments to political identities. In fact, I would consider it a failure of democratic political education if young people learn to avoid conflict or regard it as a breakdown of democracy, as I agree with Mouffe that “a well-functioning democracy calls for a vibrant clash of democratic political positions.”46	cache/infactispax-1098.pdf	txt/infactispax-1098.txt
