Notes on the conceptual construction of emotions and bodies

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.
