is a compound which can be transformed, combined, or displaced. As such what we feel is very often the result of a distortion which, in turn produces a disconnect between the emotion we feel and the idea we associate with it.

Freud and Lacan's ideas about emotions are rich and complex. For Freud, emotions are compounds: they can be transformed, combined, or displaced. What we feel is very often the result of this process of distortion which produces a disconnect between the emotion we feel and the idea we associate with it.

is a cultural and historical ideological practice. It is a social rather than an individual achievement of naming, justifying and persuading by people in 'relationship to each other.

Perhaps one of the most compelling recent experiments in the literature on selfhood is Catherine Lutz's important work. Informed by practice theory, Lutz argues for the 'emergent, contested' natures of | identities and of emotions, characterizing emotions as culturally and historically constructed ideological practices. She persuasively argues, ' 'Once de-essentialized, emotion can be viewed as a cultural and interpersonal process of naming, justifying and persuading by people in 'relationship to each other. Emotional meaning is then a social rather than an individual achievement an emergent product of social life (Lutz 1988,4). She goes on to critique reifications of our own conceptual categories, particularly the subject/object, emotion/reason binaries, and I sensitively treats the problems of translating emotion categories across cultures. . .

is an expression of the synthetic human entirety in its integrity. It is not an effect of the human reality, but that through which human reality realizes itself.

It is not an accident, because the human reality is not a sum of facts... it expresses under a definite aspect the synthetic human entirety in its integrity. And by that we must in no wise be understood to mean that it is the effect of the human reality. It is that human reality itself... realizing itself in the form of 'emotion'.

is an organized form of human existence. It cannot come from outside human reality. It is man, on the contrary, who assumes his emotion.

It cannot possibly come from outside the human reality. It is man, on the contrary, who assumes his emotion, and emotion is therefore an organized form of human existence. (sartre 'basic writings' : 68)

is, in its own manner, able to signify the whole of the consciousness or of human reality.

On the contrary, we shall try, by developing the significance of behaviour and of disturbed consciousness, to explain what is signified. And what this is we know from the beginning: an emotion signifies in its own manner the whole of the consciousness, or, if we take our stand on the existential plane, of the human reality. It is not an accident, because the human reality is not a sum of facts... it expresses under a definite aspect the synthetic human entirety in its integrity. And by that we must in no wise be understood to mean that it is the effect of the human reality. It is that human reality itself... realizing itself in the form of 'emotion'.
