Politics, Social Movements, and Emotions
Tue, August 11, 12:00 to 1:30pm, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)
Description
This session calls for submissions that explore the spectrum of political emotions in social movements and politics. We highly encourage the authors to center emotions in investigating the current climate of political polarization. Papers are invited to examine the production and performance of affect, feeling and emotion within social movements and politics. Authors can bring in accounts of political encounters that foster emotional meaning-making, research that studies anomie and alienation in repressive settings, or pieces that theorize the link between political action and emotion.
