Abstract: Abstract During the Government of the “Citizen Revolution,” innovative spaces of relationship between the State and civil society crossed by the affective were introduced to Ecuadorian politics. The affective atmospheres configured in these political spaces created particular senses and practices of citizenship that, as I propose, transformed both the ways in which the State and civil society relate as well as the practices of collective action and political participation in Ecuador. In this article I explore how the affective atmospheres built in these political spaces, configured by the Government of Rafael Correa, differently affected the citizenship senses and practices of women and men; and in turn, how the discourses and practices crossed by gender transformed these affective atmospheres.
