	Affective politics in Guadalupe Nettel’s After the Winter. Towards a more inclusive society

	This paper proposes an approach to Guadalupe Nettel’s After the Winter from the theory of emotions as understood by Sara Ahmed (2015, 2019). The Mexican author carries out an affective politics that, firstly, tracks the emotions related to otherness (disabled, immigrants); secondly, she resignifies “other bodies” in such a way that they are perceived with positive emotions. She consciously makes use of the emotions of love and melancholy to resist the normalising and repressive discourses of “should be.” It is a novel politics that seeks to come into contact with the reader – it seeks an emotional contagion – whose purpose is clear: a cultural and social change that aims for a more inclusive society.
