Open-access REFLECTIONS ON TIME AND EMOTIONS IN ANTHROPOLOGY: DEFINITIONS, PRACTICES AND POLICIES

Abstract

This paper deals with the relations between emotions, time and politics engendered by the tension between subjective experiences and the organization of the flow of life as past, present and future. It considers the variety of meanings related to the experience of time in order to explore social and political aspects associated to the displacement of emotions from immediate realities and to examine the multiple affective relations individuals establish with time, revitalizing the past or imagining the future in order to elicit forms of political action. Its structure comprehends two sections dedicated each to bibliographical reviews of two feelings: nostalgia (based on Berliner, 2015) and hope (based on Crapanzano, 2004). Final considerations approach issues concerning the analytical fruitfulness of the conceptual framework hereby outlined, presenting several possibilities to the construction of objects of research related to forms of political action.

Keywords Emotions; time; hope; nostalgia; emotions and politics
