“…by Ryle (1949), Vendler (1957), Kenny (1963) and Dowty (1979). The currently most widespread taxonomy, based on Vendler (1957), divides verbs into four classes: stat es, activiti es, accompli shments, and achiev ement s. States are "nondynamic situations without natural conclusions" (e.g., know, hate); activities are "dynamic processes where any part is of the same nature as the whole" (e.g., dance, read); accomplishments are "goal directed situations […] characterized by the presence of an activity preceding the end-point" (e.g., read a book, walk a mile); achievements are "instantaneous leaps from one state into another without an accompanying activity" (e.g., notice, begin).…”

“…As we saw in the first part of this chapter, emotions have a strong relationship with language (Kenny 1963;Harré 1986aHarré , 1989Armon-Jones 1986). This particular relationship is something that can be socially constructed (Berger and Luckman 1966;Harré 1986a).…”

The study of emotions has been one of the most important areas of research in the Social Sciences. Social Psychology has also contributed to the development of this area. In this article we analyse the contribution of social Psychology to the study of emotion, understood as a social construct, and its strong relationship with language. Specifically, we open a discussion on the basis of the general characteristics of the Social Psychology of emotions and the contributions from different disciplines in this area of research, to give meaning to the relationship they have with the language of emotions. In this regard, we have reviewed basic references for the study of the construction of an emotion, and thematically classified them into three broad categories: 1) Contributions from different backgrounds and perspectives; 2) Construction and de-construction studies of emotion, and 3) Postconstructionist studies of emotion. In the first category, we consider the main contributions from the Social Sciences, which can be summarized in two areas: philosophical-construction of an emotion; mainstream-psychology of emotion. In the second category we have began with the relationship between emotion and language and the social construction of emotion, i.e., its discursive status. We end with postconstructionist theories, i.e., Butler's concept of performance and technoscience. To give more meaning to this line of research, the use of a concrete example of emotion seemed appropriate. Thus, we chose "love".

“…The reason for this appears to be a deep-rooted intuition, which is shared by cognitivists (Kenny 1963;Solomon 1993) and somatic theorists (Damásio 1994;Prinz 2004) alike: namely, individualism about feelings. 7 According to this view, feelings are individual states that belong to the inner mental lives of individuals.…”

The aim of this paper is to clarify the notion of shared emotion. After contextualizing this notion within the broader research landscape on collective affective intentionality, I suggest that we reserve the term shared emotion to an affective experience that is phenomenologically and functionally ours: we experience it together as our emotion, and it is also constitutively not mine and yours, but ours. I focus on the three approaches that have dominated the philosophical discussion on shared emotions: cognitivist accounts, concern-based accounts, and phenomenological fusion accounts. After identifying strengths and weaknesses of these approaches and summarizing the elements that a multifaceted theory of shared emotions requires, I turn to the work of the early phenomenologist Edith Stein to further advance an approach to shared emotions that combines the main strengths of Helm and Salmela's concern-based accounts and Schmid's phenomenological fusion account. According to this proposal, the sharedness of a shared emotion cannot be located in one element, but rather consists in a complex of interrelated features.Keywords Shared emotions . Collective emotions . Affective intentionality . Communal experience . Edith Stein The last decade has seen an emerging debate about the possibility and nature of shared or collective emotions.1 As yet, however, there has been no agreement over precisely what these labels refer to. The aim of this paper is to clarify the notion of shared emotions. Following a preliminary definition, which contextualizes the debate on shared emotions within the broader research landscape on collective affective intentionality, I will discuss three major approaches to shared emotions in contemporary philosophical debate. After identifying shortcomings in these approaches and summarizing the elements that need to be accounted for in a multifaceted theory of shared emotions, I will turn to Edith Stein to introduce several suggestions from early phenomenology that can improve current theorizing on shared emotions.
