Sentir y emocionar(se): aproximaciones al estudio de la afectividad en la Grecia antigua

Abstract

: The importance of the ‘affective turn’ in classi- cal studies is well acknowledged, as it can be perceived through the many interdisciplinary works that have been published in the area during these last decades. Taking into account the challenges and difficulties involving the historical analysis of feelings, this paper intends to account for the contributions that have been made in the last years on the study of emotions in Antiquity. By specially focusing on classical Greece, we seek to offer a wide theoretical framework that could be useful for those willing to embark in this promising field of aca- demic research.
