ABSTRACT
Emotions and order or law have generally been understood as opposites in modernity. The written and spoken languages of modern sciences including jurisprudence have rarely sought to express complexity of emotions which have rather been considered anathema for scientific thinking. The languages of law they are seeing already and will be seeing in the future in post-modern societies both Western and non-Western will be both written, visual, and oral. When turning to Western history, to find examples of norms dealing with emotions, the author mentions just a few examples related to the general topic of this chapter. Positivist legal language has claimed objectivity, generality and detachment, but as already mentioned it has not totally banished or ex-patriated emotions, it has reserved and protected them for the national community and for national relations only. Neither written laws nor moving pictures are actual action, but both intend to influence action, however in quite different ways.
