Resumen

Este artículo examina el proceso político y el debate público de Finlandia sobre las mujeres y niños finlandeses en cautividad en el campo de refugiados de Al-Hol, al nordeste de Siria. El artículo estudia el rol del afecto en el proceso de construcción de justicia en estos debates. Se argumenta que el debate pone de manifiesto un proceso afectivo de construcción de fronteras, en el cual se construyó afectivamente para las madres una identidad no perteneciente y básicamente no finlandesa, al ser retratadas como “conversas” y “yihadistas”. Se movilizaron emociones como la compasión, con resultados ambiguos. De una parte, la alusión a la compasión sirvió a los propósitos del programa conservador de conectar derechos con valor personal; de la otra, la alusión a la compasión por la figura del niño inocente sirvió para aislar a los hijos de sus madres. En el contexto jurídico, las identidades de las madres, construidas afectivamente como no pertenecientes, fueron importantes porque hicieron que los derechos y las obligaciones jurídicas fueran percibidos como pertenecientes a la esfera del derecho nacional o internacional.
