| description | This article analyzes the public discourses of Afro-Argentine women who occupy leadership positions within the Afro collective, observing intertwining between processes of remembrance, emotions, and political action. A qualitative approach based on face-to-face and virtual ethnographic practices was used. Differences are noted between the subalternized Afro-descendant memories of male leaders and those produced by women activists, who incorporate affective and biographical dimensions into the production of public narratives in spaces of dialogue between the Afro community and the state. The data were obtained from fieldwork conducted since 2011 in the area of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires and its surroundings, both in associative and state spaces that were mainly used for commemorative purposes. For this, observation techniques were used with different degrees of participation, which made it possible to record practices and discourses. It is concluded that emotions fundamentally linked to collective pains shape the production of memories and support processes of Afro-female struggle, while they are communicated and shared, thus generating bonds of belonging and frameworks for political action, both within the collective and in relation to demands for rights before the national-state. |

En el presente artículo se analizan los discursos públicos de mujeres afroargentinas que ocupan posiciones de liderazgo dentro del colectivo afro, observando la imbricación entre los procesos de recordación, las emociones y el accionar político. Se emplea un enfoque cualitativo basado en la práctica etnográfica presencial y virtual. Se advierten las diferencias entre las memorias subalternizadas afrodescendientes sostenidas por líderes varones y las producidas por mujeres activistas, quienes incorporan la dimensión afectiva y biográfica en la producción de narrativas públicas en espacios de interlocución entre la comunidad afro y el Estado. Los datos fueron obtenidos del trabajo de campo realizado desde 2011 en el área de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires y sus alrededores, tanto en espacios asociativos como estatales que eran utilizados principalmente con fines conmemorativos. Para ello se recurrió a la técnica de la observación con distintos grados de participación, lo que posibilitó el registro de las prácticas y los discursos. Se concluye que las emociones ligadas fundamentalmente a dolores colectivos actúan moldeando la producción de memorias y dando sostén a los procesos de lucha afrofemenina, mientras se comunican y comparten generando lazos de pertenencia y entramados para la acción política, tanto hacia el interior del colectivo como en relación con las demandas de derechos frente al Estado nacional. Neste artigo, analisam-se os discursos públicos de mulheres afro-argentinas que ocupam cargos de liderança no coletivo afro, observando o entrelaçamento entre os processos de memória, emoções e ação política. Utiliza-se uma abordagem qualitativa baseada na prática etnográfica presencial e virtual. Notam-se as diferenças entre as memórias afrodescendentes subalternizadas de lideranças masculinas e aquelas produzidas por ativistas femininas, que incorporam a dimensão afetiva e biográfica na produção de narrativas públicas em espaços de diálogo entre a comunidade afro e o Estado. Os dados foram obtidos a partir do trabalho de campo realizado desde 2011 na área da Cidade Autônoma de Buenos Aires e seus arredores, tanto em espaços associativos quanto estaduais que foram utilizados principalmente para fins comemorativos. Para isso, foi utilizada a técnica de observação com diferentes graus de participação, o que possibilitou o registro de práticas e discursos. Conclui-se que as emoções fundamentalmente ligadas à dor coletiva atuam moldando a produção de memórias e apoiando os processos de luta afro-feminina, ao mesmo tempo em que se comunicam e compartilham, gerando laços de pertencimento e marcos de ação política, tanto no interior da coletividade como em relação às reivindicações de direitos contra o Estado nacional.
