本文试图探讨情感社会学领域与健康和疾病社会学的相关性。强调主观性和主动表达身体的存在主义-现象学视角被用来弥合这两个领域的身心-社会分裂。本文简要回顾了情感社会学领域的一些当前文献,这些文献试图解决身体在情感生活中的作用,然后借鉴了Buytendijk等人的著作:1)情感信息和交流所采取的形式,2)在身体体验中构建情感的图式的基础。接下来是“不愉快的”和“愉快的”情感“存在模式”的概述。这种存在模式在物理上以神经激素、肌肉骨骼形式以及有机体和环境交换物质的方式(例如呼吸)来表达。本文的结论是,将存在的情感模式与影响存在的社会结构特征联系起来。具体来说,这些社会结构特征包括一个人的社会地位(地位)以及伴随社会关系而进行的社会控制活动。最后一节分析了戏剧压力和情感“虚假”意识的社会建构。结论是,情感社会学和健康与疾病社会学都需要将活生生的概念、具体的人类主体以及生物心理社会研究的最新研究纳入其话语中。关注在权力和社会控制背景下活跃的情感表达、具体主体,可以为研究痛苦情绪、社会和健康提供有用的方法。
This paper attempts to explore the relevance of the field of sociology of emotions for the sociology of health and illness. An existential‐phenomenological perspective which emphasises subjectivity and the active expressive body is used to bridge the mind‐body‐society splits that characterise both fields.The paper briefly reviews some of the current literature in the sociology of emotions that tries to address the role of the body in emotional life and then draws on the works of Buytendijk and others on: 1) the form taken by emotional information and communication, 2) the grounding of the schema that structures feelings in bodily experience. This is followed by an outline of ‘unpleasant’ and ‘pleasant’ emotional‘modes of being’. Such modes of being are physically expressed in neuro‐hormonal, muscular skeletal forms and in the manner in which organism and environment exchange matter (eg breathing).The paper concludes by linking emotional modes of being to social structural features that impinge upon existence. Specifically, these social structural features include a person's social position (status) and the social control activities that accompany social relationships. This final section analyses dramaturgical stress and the social construction of emotional‘false’consciousness.It is concluded that both the sociology of emotions and health and illness need to incorporate the concept of the living, embodied human subject and recent studies in bio‐psycho‐social research into their discourses. A focus on the emotionally expressive, embodied subject, who is active in the context of power and social control, can provide a useful approach for studying distressful feelings, society, and health.
