‘Other emotions: A global look at the politics of sensibilities’

If some historical traces are taken from which the connections between emotions and time/ space can be clearly observed, it is possible to mention Ibn Khaldūn (1377), Prudencia Ayala (1925) and Sara Ahmed (2007) as examples of ‘other’ ways of seeing other emotions: the first with his concept of ‘group feeling’, the second with her view on love and collective practices, and the third with her reflections on the politics of emotions. In all of them the connection between geopolitics and the geocultural and their ‘respective’ ways of elaborating and reproducing sensations, emotions and sensibilities can be verified. Time/space directly influences the various ways of experiencing emotions. Sadness, hatred and also joy and love appear, reproduce and end according to the time/space in which they develop. However, if the emotions are closely related to the context/environment and/or interaction horizon in which they are experienced, they are also tributaries of their indeterminacy and complexity. Emotions cannot invariably be attributed to a single ‘cause/motivation’ from which a unique and determined sense can be derived, and at the same time they are the result of the cobordism of a constellation of previous interactions between multiple factors. The Special Issue that we introduce here presents, from different theoretical perspectives, an approach to the emotions and politics of the sensibilities that characterizes, at least in part, countries and regions from different parts of the planet: Oceania, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Central America and South America. This Special Issue is motivated by the intention to make known, at least partially, the state of emotions and studies of them in countries and regions that have not as yet featured centrally in research publications at the international level. In recent years we have been working on a diagnosis of the politics of sensibilities in Latin America, and in this way we have maintained that:
