Tipo: capítulo Año: 2025 Autor: Tommaso Gravante y Alice Poma Resumen: The aim of the chapter is to show how Mexican women activists’ emotions are constructed by gender and sociocultural context. The theory applied in this chapter is based on understanding emotions as sociocultural constructs (Hochschild, 1979, 1983) and on applying different typologies that have proven very useful when analyzing the different emotions that activists come to feel (Jasper, 2018). Along the chapter, we will discuss how Mexican women activists construct their moral emotions, such as fear, pain and anger, and some emotion management strategies they use to manage them, showing how these emotions interact with affective commitments, such as love, sisterhood, and trust. We will conclude by discussing some patterns we have observed in the changing emotional culture of the new generation of activists which are breaking some gender feeling rules.
