Abstract

This chapter argues that emotions are biocultural and historically contingent phenomena. Our emotional experience is inextricably linked to the words we use to describe our emotions, to the values we attach to them, and to the embodied cultural codes of comportment and expression. The chapter challenges the idea that we can meaningfully speak of “emotional development” in historical contexts in which “emotions” were not yet invented, and introduces the concept of “formation” as a historically sensitive alternative. This concept helps us grasp the historicity of growth and change in collectives, as well as in individuals’ affective lives. Emotional formation is the process through which codes of emotions are learned and imparted, often unwittingly, through discourse and practice. In order to demonstrate the methodological utility of the concept, the chapter then exemplifies processes of emotional formation in children and youth in two different historical and geographical contexts.
将情感发展历史化
本章认为情绪是一种生物文化和历史偶然现象。我们的情感体验与我们用来描述情感的词语,与我们赋予它们的价值观,以及体现在行为和表达上的文化规范有着千丝万缕的联系。这一章挑战了这样一种观点,即我们可以在“情感”尚未发明的历史背景下有意义地谈论“情感发展”,并引入了“形成”的概念,作为一种历史敏感的选择。这一概念有助于我们把握集体以及个人情感生活中成长和变化的历史性。情感形成是通过话语和实践,在不知不觉中学习和传授情感代码的过程。为了证明这一概念在方法论上的实用性,本章随后举例说明了在两种不同的历史和地理背景下儿童和青少年的情感形成过程。
