    El artículo ofrece un análisis de tres estrategias de manejo emocional empleadas en la acción colectiva. A partir del análisis de entrevistas en profundidad y grupos de discusión con un colectivo que defiende un bosque en México, presentaremos el papel del manejo emocional para evitar el agotamiento. En el texto analizaremos cómo los miembros de este grupo manejan diferentes tipos de miedo, argumento que ha encontrado mayor atención en los análisis de la acción colectiva en contextos represivos, y el manejo de la impotencia y la desesperanza. El objetivo del texto es contribuir al conocimiento del papel del manejo emocional en los movimientos sociales, mostrando cómo las emociones son elementos centrales en la arena de la lucha política.

    The article provides an analysis of three emotion management strategies in collective action. From the analysis of in-depth interviews with a Mexican group that is defending a forest, we will present the role of emotion management to avoid activists’ burnout. This article will analyze the management of fears, which has found greater attention in the analysis of collective action in repressive contexts, but also how the subjects handle powerlessness and hopelessness. The aim of this paper is to contribute to understanding the role of emotion management in social movements, showing how emotions are central elements in the arena of political struggle.
