Una giornata particolare. Un'analisi sulla costruzione sociale delle emozioni

In: Società Mutamento Politica: SMP ; rivista di sociologia, Band 12, Heft 24, S. 73-81

Abstract

The article proposed in this monographic issue aims to reflect on the process defined as "social construction of emotions": the possibility of modifying the emotional expressions and the feelings based on the context, the beliefs, the social and the cultural rules that characterize the environment in which we live and act. The sociological analysis will be produced by examining the feature film A particular day (directed by Ettore Scola). It is a sociological work characteristic of the sociology of emotions: the analysis of a media text (filmic, in this case) to critically explain a social process.
