| Sumario: | The article provides an introduction to the so-called affective turn, summarizing its main lines of development and key problem areas. It adopts a qualitative and reflexive approach, grounded in a review of specialized literature on the subject, aiming to explore the epistemological shift towards affects and emotions and their contribution to the social sciences. First, it examines the antecedents of interest in affects within western philosophical-political reflections and among the classics of social thought. Then, it addresses the discussion arising from the dialogue between the affective turn and the linguistic turn, with the aim of identifying ruptures and continuities between language/discourse and affects/emotions. Next, it examines the conceptual distinction between affect and emotion, recognizing that this differentiation does not constitute an insurmountable barrier within the framework of the affective turn, but rather allows for progress toward a sociopolitical, materialist, and critical understanding of affects and emotions. In this sense, the final section offers a reflection and raises some questions about the contribution that affective-emotional perspectives can make to addressing contemporary social issues. |
