Abstract

From the linguistic turn and the conceptualization of language as a constructor of reality, analytical frameworks for the study of emotions were derived in the social sciences. The discursive psychology of emotions had a particular interest in the use of emotions in discourse, and the actions and effects they produce in relational frameworks. However, the “discursive” presented certain limitations associated with physical experience, which led to an ontological turn known as the affective turn. This article discusses the implications that this turn had on the study of emotions and some underlying proposals, which have integrated discursive and affect perspectives to redefine emotion.
