In light of recent debates between affect and emotions in geography, this article focuses on how the emotional landscape of spatial struggles in Oaxaca articulated people together, thereby generating solidarities and a collective sociality offering the potentiality of interconnection that geographers of affect emphasize. Through an analysis of a women's march, I demonstrate how social movements move people, mobilizing them both physically and emotionally, with effects that go beyond a movement's political demands. Engaging with how emotions do movement-building work means going beyond a focus on the relational construction of emotions and arguing instead for their collective agency, including their power to transform participants into activists. Highlighting the centrality of spatial struggles and emotions to the shifting, mobile politics of social movements brings into sharp relief the importance of a situated, historical analysis for theorists romanticizing the emancipatory possibilities of a revolutionary transnational articulation between social movements. Tomando en cuenta debates recientes entre afecto y emociones en geografía, este ensayo se enfoca en cómo el panorama emocional de la lucha social en Oaxaca articuló a la gente para unirse, generando así solidaridades y una socialización colectiva que ofrece la potencialidad de interconexión que los geógrafos de afectividad acentúan. A través del análisis de una marcha de mujeres, demuestro como los movimientos sociales motivan a las gentes, movilizándolos tanto físicamente como emocionalmente, con efectos que van más allá de las demandas políticas de un movimiento. Ocupándonos en cómo las emociones hacen el trabajo de estructurar un movimiento significa ir más allá de un enfoque en la construcción interpersonal de las emociones, argumentando en vez sobre su importancia colectiva, incluyendo su poder de convertir a los participantes en activistas. Subrayando la centralidad de las luchas espaciales y las emociones de la cambiante y móvil política de los movimientos sociales, hace destacar con un alivio perspicaz la importancia de un análisis históricamente situado para los teóricos que fantasean las posibilidades emancipadoras de una articulación revolucionaria transnacional entre los movimientos sociales
