SOCIAL MOVEMENTS: THE ROLE OF EMOTIONS AND HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE TRANSFORMATION OF LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL LAW. anal.polit. [online]. 2020, vol.33, n.98, pp.210-225.

The theory of new social movements provides analytical tools to understand how emotions manifest in social movements (SM), and how they are activated as transformative possibilities of realities and contexts in which they are energized. This article provides a discussion on SM, emphasizing the role of emotions as catalysts for changes and transformations, especially with regard to Human Rights (Human Rights). For this, through an analysis of theoretical sources, the interdependence relationships between SM, emotions and law are examined. The article argues that human rights and emotions are resources used by SM that facilitate their transformative action in the local sphere while promoting a change from the bottom up and an international level to the extent that they help generate greater social synchronization.
