Apuntes sobre la construcción conceptual de las emociones y los cuerpos

Abstract

This paper presents a reflection about the process-sociological study on the emotions to recognize
social and body factors that constitute them. It seeks to characterize the individual sensitive experience
in relation with the social geometries construction, in this way the collective rhythms will be assumed
as the foundation of subjective emotional experience. This conceptual exercise has two moments. Initially,
it makes a review of the Norbert Elias’ analytical proposal developed in his text On human
beings and their emotions: a process-sociological essay, we will highlight key ideas and research hypotheses
suggested by Elias to consider emotional phenomena. Later, it revisits some ideas of Marx and
Scribano to problematize the place of bodies-emotions in capitalist society.
