Structures of feeling: revisiting a notion to study the ways in which sociocultural transformations are experienced and embodied

Main Article Content

Germán Pinque

Abstract

Abstract: The work that follows is a revision and exploration of a central concept of cultural studies, the "structures of feeling", by one of the main authors of this tradition, Raymond Williams. The text is presented as an essay guided by the interest or motivation to enrich the theoretical or methodological imagination to study current cultural phenomena from the definition, reflection and re-contextualization of this concept and of this author’s work. Fundamentally, it concentrates on the aspects in which this concept can serve to theorize sociocultural processes and changes and shed light and attention on a key dimension —that of feelings and affections— to understand the modalities in which contemporary transformations are experienced and embodied. The text also makes a brief critical journey through the theoretical and methodological challenges of this notion, and suggests some ideas about the paths that can be followed from it.
