Abstract

CRUZ GONZALEZ, Damián. Why not think that people can also act and use emotions to releate to others?. Cuad. antropol. soc. [online]. 2022, n.56, pp.235-249.  Epub Nov 10, 2022. ISSN 1850-275X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34096/cas.i56.10972.

The objective of this paper is to outline a theoretical-methodological reflection on a very particular affective dimension that stands out in the interaction dynamics of a group called Nuevo Atardecer de cuarto y quinto paso. It is an ethnographic proposal that allows a) to reveal how emotions are used and acted in different ways by the members of this organization in order to, on occasions, obtain diverse material, symbolic or other goods, in addition, that it is part of the way of relating in the diverse scenarios, and b) to register an “ambiguous strategic dimension” that is loaded with a lot of acting on the part of most of those involved.

Keywords : Affectivity; Anthropology of power; Strategic dimension; Emotions; Performance.
