Description

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the ontological status of lived emotional experience and its meaning with regard to the theory of affective action. Although the sociology of emotions has demonstrated that human emotions are social things, the theorists did not reconsider the theoretical definition of affective action because the actor in this field has been regarded as rational enough to manage his emotions appropriately for the situation. However, according to the phenomenological understanding of emotions, human consciousness becomes affective through metaphorical contact with the world. From this perspective and referring to discussions on habitus, affective action itself is shown to be a metaphorical expression of the disharmony between the body schema and the social world.
