Since many disciplines started to examine emotions in the nineties, studies that focus on emotions and protest have increased, despite the difficulties of systematizing the complex matrix of emotions that activists feel, as well as the limitations that emotion labels create. In this article, we show how using a sociocultural approach to analyze emotions and protest allows us to overcome these limitations that belong to the classical view of emotions. We will do this by analyzing the emotional dimension of the new wave of the climate movement in Mexico (2019-2022). The article focuses on how several long-term and medium-term emotions that activists feel affect their climate activism, influencing, for instance, the framing of the problem, the perception of the threat, and how emotions interact with each other. This article helps highlight both the potential and the difficulties of the sociocultural approach to emotion and protest in the context of the climate crisis.

自上世纪九十年代许多学科开始研究情绪以来，尽管将活动人士感受到的复杂情绪矩阵系统化存在困难，而且情绪标签也造成了局限性，但关注情绪和抗议的研究有所增加。在本文中，我们展示了如何使用社会文化方法来分析情绪和抗议，使我们能够克服属于经典情绪观的局限性。我们将通过分析墨西哥新一波气候运动（2019-2022）的情感维度来做到这一点。本文重点关注活动家感受到的几种长期和中期情绪如何影响他们的气候活动，例如影响问题的框架、对威胁的看法以及情绪如何相互作用。本文有助于强调在气候危机背景下用社会文化方法处理情感和抗议的潜力和困难。
