Current societies are configured in such a way that relations with others are less defined and social conditions are complex and often nontransparent (e.g. Holmes, 2015;Bauman, 2003). There is never-ending uncertainty over how to act and how to feel. Set rules on how to feel no longer exist (Hochschild, 1983;Neckel, 2005;Wouters, 1999). These conditions also pose a challenge in migration processes: clear demarcations and unwavering sense of belonging are often not possible "just like that" (Albrecht, 2016, p. 1). This implies challenges for the individual. To this effect, emotions become increasingly important in navigating one's own path through uncertain conditions (Holmes, 2015). The following paper addresses how emotional reflexivity processes are relevant for individuals in these situations. As such, emotional reflexivity must be defined as a process of internal adjustment between emotional activity and emotional passivity. The result of this process is visible through a level of action which can also consist in taking no action at all (Helfferich, 2012). Therefore, the paper suggests a modified definition of the terms agency and "emotional reflexivity". The definition of emotional reflexivity includes several aspects of Holmes's (2015; and Burkitt's (2012) former definitions and expands on them. Emotional reflexivity -internal adjustments of emotional activity and passivity -will be illustrated using empirical data on current processes of migration to Germany. A scientific e-journal coedited by UOC and UdeA (por ejemplo, Holmes, 2015;Bauman, 2003). Siempre hay una gran incertidumbre sobre cómo actuar y sentir. Ya no hay reglas establecidas sobre cómo hemos de sentirnos (Hochschild, 1983;Neckel, 2005;Wouters, 1999). Estas condiciones también plantean un reto para los procesos migratorios: las demarcaciones claras y la sensación inequívoca de pertenencia ya no son posibles «sin más» (Albrecht, 2016, pág. 1 Holmes (2015; ) y Burkitt (2012. La reflexividad emocional -los ajustes internos de la actividad y la pasividad emocionales-se ilustra mediante datos empíricos sobre los procesos actuales de migración en Alemania. reflexividad emocional, agencia, migración, emoción Palabras clave

“…Finally, I will illustrate this new expanded definition of emotional reflexivity through empirical data (see also Albrecht, 2017;Albrecht, 2016;Albrecht, 2015). This data will show how emotional reflexivity is undertaken in current processes of migration to Germany.…”
