The narrative of successive relocations to urban centers reveals how certain characters adopt different affective orientations toward the novelty of their journeys. The body that adheres to the trajectory of social mobility does not register estrangement, whereas the body that deviates from the prescribed path, shaped by divergent affective experiences, comes to embody it. The analysis will address how María, unlike Domingo, expresses the possibility of deviating from the supposedly inevitable directionality imposed by modernization through her affective engagements with language and objects. Her lack of adaptation to internal migration reconfigures traditional representations of early twentieth-century Italian immigration in Argentina within an affective framework. El presente trabajo busca analizar Mudanzas de Hebe Uhart bajo la perspectiva de la teoría de los afectos (Ahmed, 2014; 2019; 2024). El relato de las sucesivas mudanzas hacia los centros urbanos manifiesta cómo determinados personajes adoptan distintas orientaciones afectivas hacia la novedad de los recorridos. El cuerpo que se adhiere al camino del ascenso social no presenta figuraciones de lo extraño, y el cuerpo que se desvía del camino trazado, debido a afecciones disímiles, sí encarna la extrañeza. Se abordará la forma en que María, a diferencia de Domingo, abre la posibilidad de la desviación de la direccionalidad impuesta por la modernización presuntamente inevitable, a través de las afecciones y las orientaciones que toma respecto del lenguaje y de los objetos. Su falta de adecuación a la migración interna desplaza las representaciones tradicionales de la inmigración italiana en la Argentina hacia el terreno de los afectos.
