Abstract

If we had to define -as it seems to be convenient for the introductory gender- the so-called affective turn, we could take the words of otrxs and agree, with Nicolás Cuello (2019), that it is about "a field of theoretical-reflexive experimentation" (p.11) where investigations and explorations of feminist and queer nature coexist in which the political relevance of the affections and emotions in public life is expressed. In the words of Macón and Solana (2015), it is "a project aimed at exploring alternative ways of approaching the affective, passionate or emotional dimension [...] from its role in public space" (pp. 15-16).
