This article develops a framework for conceptualizing the emotional dimensions of coalitions, with particular focus on how power operates through emotion in different varieties of feminist coalitions. The article proposes three interrelated areas in which emotion shapes feminist coalitions: (1) Feelings towards coalition partners: feelings of mistrust, anger, fear, or their reverse grow from histories of interaction and unequal power. These make up the emotional landscape of intersectional coalitions, which operate through a tension between negative emotions and attempts at empathy or mutual acceptance; (2) Shared feelings: feminist coalitions build on shared fear of threat or anger at a common enemy; and (3) emergent emotions in collective action. Coalition partners possess distinct emotion cultures. Joint collective action can cement bonds when all participants’ emotion cultures are reflected, or weaken coalitions when the reverse is true. In all three of these areas, organizers engage in emotional labour in order to create or maintain coalitions. These three dynamics are illustrated with examples from intersectional feminist coalitions, the Women’s Marches, and interactions between feminists and conservatives opposed to pornography.

本文开发了一个框架来概念化联盟的情感维度，特别关注权力如何在不同种类的女权主义联盟中通过情感运作。这篇文章提出了情感塑造女权主义联盟的三个相互关联的领域：（1）对联盟伙伴的感觉：不信任、愤怒、恐惧或它们的相反感觉来自互动和不平等权力的历史。这些构成了交叉联盟的情感景观，通过消极情绪和同理心或相互接受的尝试之间的张力来运作；(2) 共同感受：女权主义联盟建立在对共同敌人的威胁或愤怒的共同恐惧之上；(3) 集体行动中涌现的情绪。联盟伙伴拥有独特的情感文化。当所有参与者的情感文化都得到反映时，联合集体行动可以巩固联系，或者在相反情况下削弱联盟。在所有这三个领域中，组织者都从事情感劳动以建立或维持联盟。这三种动态通过交叉女权主义联盟、妇女游行以及女权主义者和反对色情的保守派之间的互动的例子来说明。
