“…Social constructionist accounts illuminate what Craib (1995) calls the 'social scaffolding' which situates emotions -emotions do not occur in a social vacuum but are structured by emotion rules that are deeply embedded in culture and history. In line with theorizing on emotionology (Fineman, 2010, Stearns andStearns, 1985), the emotional tone of an interview situation involving a Western researcher and Indian respondents is inevitably conditioned by long-standing narratives of privilege and exclusion. Psychoanalysis prompts us to look more deeply into the complexities of felt emotions, marked by unconscious and especially defensive processes.…”

This article makes a contribution to the study of emotions in organizations by offering a systematic juxtaposition and cross-fertilization of psychoanalytic and social constructionist approaches. These two traditions have found it hard to communicate in the past when addressing organizational emotions. Points of similarity and tension between them are discussed in connection with two critical case studies of female Indian managers discussing their emotions at the workplace. These were obtained during field work in which emotions were studied through narratives generated by a free-association interview approach. Both the emotions described in the narratives themselves and the emotions of the interview encounter were analysed, as resources for a rapprochement of contrasting perspectives on emotion. This rapprochement acknowledges the psychoanalytic emphasis on unconscious dynamics shaping the emotional lives of individuals and groups, while also honouring the social constructionist emphasis on how emotions are influenced by social, cultural and discursive practices.

“…The two fields of inquiry-the history of childhood and the history of emotions-became explicitly intertwined in the United States when Peter N. Stearns and Timothy Haggerty (1991) described the role of fear and transitions in American "emotional standards for children" in the wake of Stearns's (1985) proclamation of "emotionology" as a new field of inquiry, and their study was advanced by the foundation of the Society for the History of Children and Youth in 2001. Subsequently, challenging the modern bias of "emotionology" that aims to identify emotional standards across American society, Barbara H. Rosenwein (2002Rosenwein ( , 2007Rosenwein ( , 2015, by contrast, has coined the notion of "emotional communities. "…”

Stearns (1985), quienes se basaron en la perspectiva histórica para referirse a los modos en que la gente de una cultura particular, identifica, clasifica, discute y reconoce emociones. Al mismo tiempo es una perspectiva que da cuenta de las formas de hablar de las emociones a través de su variación histórica.…”

El Giro Afectivo es un movimiento innovador que está transformando la producción de conocimiento basado en el estudio del afecto y la emoción. En este trabajo sostenemos que hay un punto que no se ha desarrollado, una deuda con el origen del giro que es necesario saldar para comprender el papel actual de los estudios del afecto y la emoción en la academia. Así, nuestra propuesta es una precuela que narra lo que sucedió con el estudio de las emociones al interior de las Ciencias Sociales durante el siglo XX. Para contar la historia antes de la Historia, articulamos esta precuela en la que sostenemos que las condiciones de posibilidad para el Giro Afectivo se pueden comprender a través de siete líneas de estudio de las emociones que se desarrollaron previamente. Nuestra precuela explica el presente desde el pasado, invocando siete aproximaciones al estudio de la emoción: El Socioconstruccionismo, la Psicología Social Discursiva, los Estudios Culturales de las Emociones, las Emocionologías, la Sociología Interpretativa, la Sociolingüística de las Emociones, y los Estudios Feministas de las Emociones. Palabras clave Giro Afectivo Emociones Ciencias Sociales Precuela Historia Abstract Keywords Affective Turn Emotions Social Sciences Prequel HistoryThe Affective Turn is an innovative movement that is transforming the production of knowledge based on the study of affect and emotion. To understand the current role of emotions, we proposed a 'prequel. Telling what happened with emotions within the social sciences before the Affective Turn, and before the twentieth century. In this work we explain the present from the past, we tell the story before The History, we pay a debt to a previous work: The Affective Turn. We articulate the prequel through seven approaches: Socialconstructionism, Discursive Social Psychology, Cultural Studies of Emotions, Emocionologies, Interpretative Sociology, Sociolinguistic of Emotions and Feminist Studies of emotions. We review the interests of each approach, their schools, their past, and give hints about not only the present but the future(s) of the Affective Turn, in social science and academy as well.Enciso Domínguez, Giazú y Lara, Alí (2014).

El film dirigido por Bryan Singer está basado en el cómic de Marvel que lleva el mismo nombre y que narra la historia de un grupo de súper héroes mutantes que poseen súper poderes y habilidades especiales a causa del gen X, que corre por sus venas. Básicamente la historia del 2000 relata el conflicto entre los X-Men dirigidos por el Profesor Xavier, y la hermandad de los mutantes liderada por su archienemigo Magneto.
