“…Accordingly, we chose to analyze our tweet data-set using 4-h time slots. This is also in alignment with previous research (Berezin, 2009;Chan, Fung, Xing, & Hagger, 2014), which suggests that moods and emotions may frequently fluctuate over time, sometimes within short spans. Our choice of the length of time slot was also determined by the size and distribution of the primary data, which had high volume during the days when major incidents occurred in connection to the gang-rape incident, and relatively low volume on other days.…”

“…In short, emotions are a constituent part of any social phenomenon, whether it be conflict between partners (Retzinger, 1991), violence (Collins, 2008), the Christmas season (Schervish et al, 1996), law and legal processes (Grossi, 2015;Nussbaum, 2006), the attack on September 11 (Burkitt, 2005;Kemper, 2002), politics (Demertzis, 2013), comedy series on television (Weaver, 2010), or trends in the stock market (Berezin, 2009). And this fact requires the development of a sociology which studies the complex existing affective structures and emotional dynamics in the context of social life.…”

The emotions that human beings experience play a fundamental role in all social phenomena. As a result, sociology needs to incorporate the analysis of affective structures and emotional dynamics into its objects of study. The integration of feelings, affects, moods and emotional states into sociological research, which began four decades ago with the birth of the sociology of emotions, must continue advancing until emotions are fully integrated into the general sociological perspective. This article offers an introductory and critical overview of the work sociologists of emotions have carried out so far. They have helped us, first of all, to understand what an emotion is, the countless number of existing feelings, and the great complexity of emotional processes. Second, they have revealed the social nature of human emotions, and the emotional nature of social phenomena. Third, they have developed a number of theoretical approaches to studying the emotions. And, lastly, they have carried out sociological analyses of many specific emotions (fear, trust, shame, etc.), and emotional analyses in many areas of sociology (gender, work, organizations, social movements, etc.). This article also offers suggestions for the future development of the sociology of emotions, and a selected and updated bibliography.

“…In this paper, we wish to elaborate two key ideas emerging from the special issue: the moral character of emotions (Berezin 2009), and the limitations of social capital theory (Barbalet 2009). Emotions are significant because they can provide an understanding of ultimate concerns and moral responsibilities based upon lived experience and everyday encounters (Sayer 2005;Archer 2000).…”

This article examines individuals' lay understandings of moral responsibilities between adult kin members. Moral sentiments and practical judgments are important in shaping kinship responsibilities. The article discusses how judgments on requests of support can be reflexive and critical, taking into account many factors, including merit, social proximity, a history of personal encounters, overlapping commitments, and moral identity in the family. In so doing, we argue that moral responsibilities are contextual and relational. We also analyze how class, gender, and capabilities affect how individuals imagine, expect and discuss care responsibilities. We also offer a critique of social capital theory of families, suggesting that their versions of morality are instrumental, alienated, and restrictive. Although Bourdieu's concept of habitus overlaps with our proposed moral sentiments approach, the former does not adequately address moral concerns, commitments, and evaluations. The article aims to contribute to a better understanding of everyday morality by drawing upon different literatures in sociology, moral philosophy, postcommunism, and development studies.
