The 15M protests were a moment of great emotive intensity, one that reenergized direct civilian participation from outrage and hope. Should future historians take up the task of documenting the shared affects and emotions in circulation in the events of 2011, what would this archive of emotions look like? How would one describe the affect world of the social context in which 15M irrupted in 2011? What experiences would this archive of emotions register as representative of both the time of 15M and the tempo in which, one decade later, its many ramifications continue to unfold? What possible criteria would structure such an archive while taking caution not to fall into the trap of constructing 15M in hindsight, perhaps like the events of 1968 in retrospect, as a “nostalgic artifact” at the service of the present?
