- More about Collective Emotions and Political Violence: Narratives of Islamist Organisations in Western Europe
To keep members and followers committed to collective action, collective actors need to legitimate radical change. Clément argues that political violence has to feel right for an organization and its followers to move from moderate activism to (violent) extremism. She shows that organizations mediate this change by performing collective emotions in and through narrative.

Faced with the high risks of repression and implosion, collective actors must legitimate such radical change to keep their members and followers committed to collective action. To explore how radical changes in activism are mediated, the book develops a transdisciplinary theoretical framework and an innovative methodological approach, drawing on the texts, audios, and videos of five Islamist organizations in the UK and Germany in the 2000s and 2010s. Clément argues that for an organization and its followers to move from moderate activism to (violent) extremism, political violence must feel right as a collective. She demonstrates that organizations mediate this change by performing collective emotions in and through narrative. The book offers a provocative and nuanced account that departs from conventional interpretations of radicalization and reminds us of the power of emotions.
