Faced with high risks of repression and implosion, they need to legitimate such radical change to keep members and followers committed to collective action. Drawing on the texts, audios, and videos of five Islamist organisations in the UK and Germany in the 2000s and 2010s, the book develops a transdisciplinary theoretical framework and innovative methodological approach to explore how radical changes in activism are mediated. Clément argues that political violence has to feel right, as a collective, for an organisation and its followers to move from moderate activism to (violent) extremism. She shows that organisations mediate this change by performing collective emotions in and through narrative. The book offers a provocative and nuanced account which departs from conventional interpretations of radicalisation and reminds us of the power of emotions.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Violence in Societybisacshal-MuhajirounDie Wahre ReligionemotionalisationHizb ut-TahrirMillatu Ibrahimmoderate politicsperformanceradicalisation into extremismromantic narrativethema EDItEUR::J Society and Social Sciences::JB Society and culture: general::JBF Social and ethical issues::JBFK Violence and abuse in societythema EDItEUR::J Society and Social Sciences::JP Politics and government::JPB Comparative politicsthema EDItEUR::J Society and Social Sciences::JP Politics and government::JPF Political ideologies and movementsworld politicsSOCIAL SCIENCE / Violence in Society.Clément Maéva, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1837918Clément Maéva, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910800127403321Collective emotions and political violence4416773UNINA
