Popis: From the perspective of the anthropology of emotions, the narrative of suffering, and the concept of emotional communities coined in the area of the history of emotions, I aim to show, through ethnographic data obtained from in-depth interviews, the main explanations that a group of former students of a boarding school run by nuns in Mexico gave to reveal the epidemic outbreak of mass-hysteria they faced there in 2007. Based on that, it shows how a new system of morality and emotional expression, required intra-muros, and driven by discipline and control of the bodies and souls of the boarding students, was imposed in this liminal space in which illness, punished, turned into a form of body language that revealed the social suffering.
