The different women emancipatory movements that developed from the end of the 18th century challenged patriarchal ways of understanding, not only what rights consist of, but also what strategies to use when deploying activism. Many of the claims that were shaping the beginnings of these movements —the right to education, suffrage, equal pay— insisted, for example, on diluting the patriarchal affective arrangement, borne upon and with patriarchal oppression. It is pertinent, then, to investigate the way in which the different self-defined emancipatory women's movements altered what to understand as a political strategy based on their certainty that the patriarchal order is legitimized through a specific affective arrangement that was intended to be unalterable. The goal of this paper is twofold. On one hand, to argue that, since its inception, women's emancipatory movements understood that, to be successful and, above all, lasting, the path requires altering the patriarchal affective arrangement to generate other possible ones capable of challenging the oppression that is based on an affective order purportedly unchangeable. The second objective is to argue that this process sets in motion a specific affective agency where affects are not mere resources for action, but rather indicate a stressed, although productive, relationship in terms of capacity for action, between affects and emotions. It was a matter of underlining, through different strategies, the contingency and injustice of the patriarchal affective arrangement in order to establish another one ready for emancipation and, from there, intervene in the world under a new logic. |

Un relato posible para la agencia Macon, Cecilia affect agency feminism history patriarchy afectos agencia feminismo historia patriarcado The different women emancipatory movements that developed from the end of the 18th century challenged patriarchal ways of understanding, not only what rights consist of, but also what strategies to use when deploying activism. Many of the claims that were shaping the beginnings of these movements —the right to education, suffrage, equal pay— insisted, for example, on diluting the patriarchal affective arrangement, borne upon and with patriarchal oppression. It is pertinent, then, to investigate the way in which the different self-defined emancipatory women's movements altered what to understand as a political strategy based on their certainty that the patriarchal order is legitimized through a specific affective arrangement that was intended to be unalterable. The goal of this paper is twofold. On one hand, to argue that, since its inception, women's emancipatory movements understood that, to be successful and, above all, lasting, the path requires altering the patriarchal affective arrangement to generate other possible ones capable of challenging the oppression that is based on an affective order purportedly unchangeable. The second objective is to argue that this process sets in motion a specific affective agency where affects are not mere resources for action, but rather indicate a stressed, although productive, relationship in terms of capacity for action, between affects and emotions. It was a matter of underlining, through different strategies, the contingency and injustice of the patriarchal affective arrangement in order to establish another one ready for emancipation and, from there, intervene in the world under a new logic. Los diferentes movimientos emancipatorios de mujeres que se gestaron a partir de fines del siglo XVIII, impugnaron modos patriarcales de entender no solo en qué consisten los derechos, sino también qué estrategias utilizar a la hora de desplegar el activismo. Muchos de los reclamos que fueron conformando los inicios del movimiento —derecho a la educación, al sufragio, a la igualdad de salario— insistieron, por ejemplo, en diluir la configuración afectiva patriarcal encabalgada sobre y con la opresión patriarcal. Resulta pertinente, entonces, indagar en el modo en que los distintos movimientos de mujeres autodefinidos como emancipatorios alteraron qué entender como estrategia política, a partir de su certeza en que el orden patriarcal se legitima a través de una configuración afectiva específica que se pretendió inalterable. El objetivo de este trabajo es doble. Por un lado, argumentar que, desde sus comienzos, los movimientos emancipatorios de mujeres entendieron que, para ser exitosos y, sobre todo, perdurables, el camino requiere alterar la configuración afectiva patriarcal para generar otras posibles, capaces de desafiar la opresión fundada en un orden afectivo pretendidamente inalterable. El segundo objetivo consiste en argumentar que este proceso pone en funcionamiento una agencia afectiva específica, donde los afectos no son meros recursos para la acción, sino que señalan una relación tensionada, aunque productiva, en términos de capacidad de acción, entre afectos y emociones. Se trata de subrayar, a través de distintas estrategias, la contingencia e injusticia de la configuración afectiva patriarcal, para establecer otra dispuesta para la emancipación y desde allí intervenir en el mundo bajo una nueva lógica.
