本文探讨了人文社会科学中的影响转向如何重新想象文化理论与科学之间的关系。我们关注的是两位神经科学家（安东尼奥·达马西奥和约瑟夫·勒杜）和一位发展心理学家（丹尼尔·斯特恩）的著作是如何被用来为文化理论中关于情感的某些主张奠定基础的。我们研究了情感的文化理论中起作用的主题，他们工作的（神经）生物学模型，以及一些迷人的失误，这些失误是科学文献的特征。虽然神经科学将情感框定为调节系统的一部分，使自我和社会一致性成为可能，但在文化理论的叙述中，情感成为物质内在动力和可变性的占位符。本文探讨了文化理论从神经科学和发展心理学中奇怪地借用的后果，这些理论建立了一种主体性模型，这种模型专注于生活在习惯和具体历史之外的存在。
This article investigates how the turn to affect within the humanities and social sciences re-imagines the relationship between cultural theory and science. We focus on how the writings of two neuroscientists (Antonio Damasio and Joseph LeDoux) and one developmental psychologist (Daniel Stern) are used in order to ground certain claims about affect within cultural theory. We examine the motifs at play in cultural theories of affect, the models of (neuro)biology with which they work, and some fascinating missteps characterizing the taking up of scientific literature. While neuroscience frames the affective as part of a system of regulation that makes both self and social coherence possible, in cultural theory’s narratives, by contrast, affectivity becomes a placeholder for the inherent dynamism and mutability of matter. The article interrogates the consequences of cultural theory’s strange borrowings from neuroscience and developmental psychology in their institution of a model of subjectivity preoccupied with a lived present in excess of the hold of habit and embodied history.
