Love as a key emotion for the far right? Environmentalism, affective politics and the Anastasia ecological settler movement in Germany
Research usually links the rise of the far right to a variety of negative emotions, especially fear and anger. This article analyses the case of the far-right ecological settler movement community Anastasia which, in the context of environmental activism, discursively centres on the positive emotion of love. Our key theoretical contribution is to highlight the importance of love for far-right mobilization while disentangling different functions o…
Zur affektiven Dynamik in Interviews mit Sexarbeitenden: Das qualitative Interview als Bühne der Neuinszenierung einer ressentimentbehafteten Identität
Anhand der Analyse von Interviews mit Sexarbeitenden zeigt dieser Beitrag auf, wie affektiv-emotionale Prozesse in der Interviewsituation mit den Spezifika des Forschungsfeldes, vor allem der Marginalisierung und Stigmatisierung der Sexarbeitenden, zusammenhängen. Im Zentrum der Analyse steht die Rekonstruktion von Ressentiments und anderen Gefühlen sozialer Auf- und Abwertung, die einen elementaren Bestandteil der affektiven Identitätsarbeit im …

Listen to your fear’: How fear discourse (re)produces gendered sexual subjectivities
This article explores the interrelations between gender and fear, based on the hypothesis of sexual fear being produced as a feminised emotion in discourse. Empirical analyses of historically contingent constructions of sexual fears from 1961–2021 in the advice pages of the popular German youth magazine Bravo show how fear has been produced as a central technique governing feminine sexuality, by far surmounting the importance of either feminine l…

Bisexual Identities among Women in Germany: A Sociological Approach toward Obstacles and Opportunities
This study explores social processes that prevent or delay and processes supporting the adoption of a bisexual identity among women who have been engaged in sexual activities with more than one gender in Germany. Starting from an interactionist perspective on sexual identities, data stemming from 12 qualitative interviews with German participants are analyzed. By citing and interpreting the narratives of interviewees, it is shown (1) how interact…
International football tournaments, emotional entrainment and the reproduction of symbolic boundaries. A case study in Germany
Understanding the social consequences of major soccer events is important for social science researchers and policy-makers alike. On the one hand, socially integrative effects are ascribed to these events. On the other hand, they are suspected of increasing the devaluation of minorities and disadvantaged groups. Sociological theories in a Durkheimian tradition suggest that the emotional entrainment that goes along with football-related rituals mi…
Emotional entrainment, national symbols, and identification: A naturalistic study around the men's football World Cup
Some theories suggest that collective emotions, in particular emotional entrainment as the feeling of affective attunement with others during rituals, can increase the identification with a social group. Furthermore, emotional entrainment is supposed to emotionally 'charge' group symbols that are part of ritual practices and influence group-related attitudes and solidarity even beyond the ritual context. This article tests these assumptions in a …
