| description | This paper explores the organized practices of the feminist activism and the emergence of “emotional communities” in the university context. Drawing on qualitative fieldwork conducted between 2019 and 2020 during the takeover of some of the departments of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) by feminist collectives, we look at what happens e “backstage” in the practice of this activism. We explore how feminists not only used organizational methods to sustain the occupation of the unam but also generated spaces in which they could share the experiences of gender-based violence that triggered their activism in the first place. Overcoming a sense of victimhood, the students engaged in political actions to pressure the authorities, from a perspective that acknowledged the pain of others. This approached allowed them to critique of the institutional and sexist violence they experience. This article contributes to the growing field of studies on university feminist activism in dialogue with studies on emotions in socio-cultural analysis. It also presents an ethnographic account of practices that are less visible and powerful than what it is commonly understood as feminist action and mobilization. |

El presente trabajo analiza la relevancia de las prácticas organizativas de los activismos feministas universitarios en el surgimiento de “comunidades emocionales”, con base en un trabajo de campo cualitativo realizado entre 2019 y 2020 durante el cierre de algunas facultades, de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), por colectivas feministas. Nos aproximamos al backstage de su activismo en el que, además de desplegarse prácticas organizativas para sostener las tomas se abrieron espacios de conversación para compartir las experiencias de violencia que fueron el detonante de sus acciones. Trascendiendo el lugar de víctimas, las estudiantes articularon acciones para ejercer presión en las autoridades de la universidad, con una mirada sensible al dolor ajeno y crítica de la violencia institucional y machista que experimentan. El documento constituye un aporte al campo de estudios de los activismos feministas universitarios en diálogo con el enfoque en las emociones en el análisis sociocultural, además de ser un registro etnográfico de las prácticas organizativas menos estridentes y visibles de lo que comúnmente se entiende por acciones y movilizaciones feministas.
