Mobilized Emotions: Corporeality and Emotionality in Radical Environmental Movements
Rousek, Martin ; Novák, Arnošt (advisor) ; Wolfová, Alžběta (referee)
This diploma thesis analyses the dynamics and significance of emotions and body in radical environmental movements and through qualitative empirical research analyses these factors in a specific movement. The aim of this thesis is not only the analysis itself, but also to open a debate on the topic of emotions and body in social movements, and consequently emotions and body in the broader political landscape as such, as this topic is not explored well in Czech context. After a theoretical exploration of this issue, the data obtained from semi-structured interviews with members of the radical ecological movement Limity jsme my are analysed and interpreted using different concepts from relevant literature. Keywords emotions, environmental movements, direct action, body, emotionality, corporeality, radical movements

In the theoretical part, I deal to a large extent with social movements with a focus on radical environmental movements [e.g. Doherty 2002, Merchant 2005, Wahlström et al. 2013, De...
