在过去的十年中,情绪在社会运动动员和政治抗议中的作用再次受到关注。然而,很少有研究通过参与抗议活动来跟踪活动家的情感轨迹。本文探讨了1997年以来英国农村抗议活动中情感的重要性。本报告利用第一手和第二手资料,重点阐述支持狩猎的乡村游行和农民示威的参与者在动员的各个阶段的情绪。它提出了一个“情绪阶梯”的比喻来描述不同的情绪,是前景的动员收益。它表明,对个人情感依恋的景观或植根于地方的生活方式的感知威胁的情感反应是政治动员的重要动机。这些个人情绪随后转化为集体行动,因为愤怒、沮丧和绝望等情绪引导着行动的途径。成功的动员还取决于参与者克服最初对抗议活动的恐惧或不安情绪,让位于愉悦和自豪的情绪,这些情绪激发了活动家的热情,并有助于复制和维持运动。
The role of emotion in social movement mobilization and political protest has received renewed attention in the past decade. However, few, if any, studies have followed the emotional trajectories of activists through their involvement in protest activity. This paper explores the significance of emotion in rural protests in Britain since 1997. Drawing on first-hand and second-hand sources, it focuses on the emotions of participants in pro-hunting countryside marches and in farmers' demonstrations as they move through various stages of mobilization. It proposes the metaphor of a ‘ladder of emotions’ to describe the different emotions that are foregrounded as mobilization proceeds. It suggests that emotional responses to perceived threats to a landscape or place-rooted way of life to which individuals have an emotional attachment are important as motives for political mobilization. These individual emotions are subsequently translated into collective action as emotions such as anger, frustration and desperation guide pathways for action. Successful mobilization also relies on participants overcoming initial emotions of fear or trepidation at protest activity, giving way to emotions of pleasure and pride that enthuse activists and help reproduce and sustain campaigns.
