Abstract
In this paper we explore the role of the collective emotion rage in institutional disruption and change. While rage is considered a form of anger, the unique and intense experience of collective rage and potential for disruption deserves focused attention. We argue that rage can be experienced collectively as well as can be collectively suppressed or can be expressed in a number of ways. When such collective rage is expressed, various forms of collective institutional disruption may occur. We also argue that institutional guardians are likely to resist that disruption and engage in defensive and reactionary behaviors to defend existing institutional structures.
