- Title
Angry Young Men? Masculinities and Emotion among Young Male Activists in the Global Justice Movement.
- Authors
ZACKARIASSON, MARIA
- Abstract
This article is based on qualitative interviews with a number of young men who are active in the global justice movement in Scandinavia, and particularly examines what role anger may have in their political involvement. The individual narratives and reflections from the interviews are discussed in relation to the role of emotions in how and why individuals get involved in social movements, and to various meanings and popular understandings of the emotion anger. The interview material is also related to cultural conceptions of masculinity and youth, with particular reference to the dominating media image of young activists in the global justice movement in Scandinavia, which to a large extent has focused on aggressive behaviour and violence.
