Opis

Using radical theories of democracy, Eklundh constructs an analytical framework based on concept of visceral ties, seeing emotions and affect as constitutive of any collective identity. She later demonstrates empirically, using both ethnographic method and social media analysis, how the movement Indignados has stronger visceral ties than Podemos.
