Sažetak
The author analyzes the performances of anger in the context of interpersonal confrontations in the communities of late medieval Istria subjected to Venice. The first part of the study outlines the theoretical, methodological, and conceptual framework within which the study is embedded, demonstrating that the European Middle Ages inherited a moral tradition that saw anger as both a condemnable and praise-worthy emotion. The second part presents the results of the analysis of over a hundred cases of interpersonal conflict in which the performance of anger played a seminal role. The author concludes that the role of anger in these societies was intimately tied to defending one’s personal honor and upholding the existing social hierarchies. Although anger did not acquire a more pronounced legal dimension, it was still tacitly tolerated by the Venetian authorities if it was deemed that it had been properly performed by following a set script of personal confrontations.
