| Abstract: | Emotional distress in response to the climate crisis is rising within our society. It has been suggested that climate fiction could display a means to engage with one’s climate emotions and provide a starting point for the discussion of them. This study analyses how participants discuss their climate emotions after watching the stop-motion animated short film “Migrants”. The reflexive thematic analyses revealed five themes, which covered a variety of emotional expressions ranging from viewing the film as a metaphor for real-world problems and climate change with its consequences to a moral assessment of the issue. The main findings of this study include that that animated climate fiction short films have the potential to be used as a creative tool to explore and discuss climate emotions, to confront one's own moral values and to confirm one's own climate-friendly behaviour, and can promote meaning-oriented coping with climate emotions. |
