Emotions, power, and environmental conflict: Expanding the ‘emotional turn’ in political ecology

We examine the role of emotions in environmental conflicts and propose an expanded approach to emotional political ecology. Drawing on feminist studies, human geography, social psychology, social movement theory, and anthropology, we develop a conceptual framework that integrates the psychological, collective, territorial, and more-than-human dimensions of emotions to understand how they shape power relations, subjectivities, and political action in socio-environmental conflicts.
