This paper contributes to the theorization of the affective in the field of social movement analysis, which has remained a neglected field of inquiry in attempts towards a \u2018normalization of affects,\u2019 beyond the traditional binaries (rational-emotional, public-private) in addressing social issues. We consider emotions to be part of the social and cultural processes that assist social movements; they widen the scope of new imaginaries and forms of belonging. For this reason, we place emotions at the focus of analysis, as discursively expressed \u2018moral batteries\u2019 that foster action. Empirically, we conduct frame analysis by examining public documents in selected cities in five European countries (Denmark, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, Switzerland) on topics related to migration. We compare the framing processes across these multiple local sites, and we investigate if and to what an extent the documents exhibit affective communication, which distinctly impacts the documents use, and how these affects form movements\u2019 \u2018affective discourse\u2019: i.e. how emotions are attached to formulating problems and solutions in movement\u2019s public appeals with respect to migration and migration policy. Our findings show how movements use different strategies in mobilizing affects. On the one hand, they engage in empathy and compassion with migrants vis-\u00e0-vis border and detention regimes, and on the other hand, they exhibit anger and frustration when discussing harmful actions taken by state officials. This contributes to a high degree of \u2018affective resemblance\u2019 among solidarity social movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"kwd-title-d29543243e157\">KEYWORDS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Social movements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>frame analysis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>emotions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>affects<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>migration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author(s) : Mojca Pajnik, Marko Riba\u0107 Source : https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1080\/14742837.2025.2470240 Abstract:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[306,7,37,638,708,9,226,253,124,802,591,25],"class_list":["post-37329","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-society-family-racism","tag-306","tag-article","tag-attitudes-towards-migrants","tag-denmark","tag-emotion","tag-english-language","tag-germany","tag-italy","tag-protest-movements","tag-slovenia","tag-social-movements","tag-solidarity"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37329","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=37329"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37329\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=37329"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=37329"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=37329"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
