Affect is increasingly understood as a critical element of political life and collective action in Latin America and elsewhere. It is critical to generating participation in collective action projects, sustaining or collapsing action, and how participants interpret the meanings and values of a project and the social relationships within it. More broadly, affective political experiences are markers of the sense of belonging or disaffection from others and broader political systems that are central to civic life. The meanings of participation after projects fade are often attributed mainly to the collective events themselves, and draw on one-off interviews after the events decline, or short ethnographies relatively close in time to the collective actions. As well, they often foreground the positive experiences that participants recall from collective action. Using 48 interviews and three years of participant observation, which followed 12 years of political and social engagement with women residents of Villa El Salvador (VES) in Lima, Peru, we challenge all three of these perspectives. The women were involved in a 20-year, materially successful, brokered collective action project to install water and sanitation systems in their neighborhood. The data reveal that long-term participants recalled actions in collective terms, but recounted affective experiences—mainly senses of abandonment and struggle—in individualistic terms. Unlike what most studies of collective action have concluded, these stories of being “barely bonded” to co-participants and leaders were not attributed to the collective actions themselves: they were told as part of stories of life-long gendered experiences of personal and state violence, state and family abandonment, and corrupt political practices in Peru. These affects were expressed with an insistence on sympathy from author 1, who has had long-term care relationships with people in VES. The methods and findings extend Latin American collective action scholarship that has documented disappointment and civil disaffection as outcomes of collective action, showing that longer-term forms of politics and relationships in which people’s political lives unfold (including with analysts), rather than collective action projects themselves, can reveal richer senses of the meanings of participation in collective action for civic life.

勉强绑定：秘鲁利马萨尔瓦多别墅的情感政治和性别争夺水

在拉丁美洲和其他地方，影响越来越多地被理解为政治生活和集体行动的关键要素。这对于促进集体行动项目的参与、维持或破坏行动以及参与者如何解释项目的意义和价值以及其中的社会关系至关重要。更广泛地说，情感政治经历是归属感或对他人以及对公民生活至关重要的更广泛政治体系的不满感的标志。项目消亡后的参与意义往往主要归因于集体事件本身，并借鉴了事件衰退后的一次性采访，或与集体行动时间相对接近的短人种志。同样，他们经常强调参与者从集体行动中回忆起的积极经历。使用 48 次访谈和三年的参与者观察，在与秘鲁利马萨尔瓦多别墅 (VES) 的女性居民进行了 12 年的政治和社会接触之后，我们对这三种观点提出了挑战。这些妇女参与了一项为期 20 年、取得实质性成功的集体行动项目，旨在在她们的社区安装水和卫生系统。数据显示，长期参与者以集体的方式回忆行动，但以个人的方式讲述情感体验——主要是被遗弃和挣扎的感觉。与大多数集体行动研究的结论不同，这些与共同参与者和领导者“几乎没有联系”的故事并不归因于集体行动本身：它们是作为个人和国家暴力、国家和家庭遗弃以及腐败政治的终生性别体验故事的一部分而讲述的。秘鲁的做法。这些影响表现在作者 1 坚持同情，他与 VES 中的人有长期护理关系。这些方法和发现扩展了拉丁美洲集体行动奖学金，该奖学金将失望和公民不满记录为集体行动的结果，表明人们政治生活（包括与分析师）展开的长期政治和关系形式，而不是集体行动项目他们自己，
