“…The inaugural works of Cooley (2010Cooley ( [1902) prompted the expansion of the field. Yet, it was only after the 'emotional turn' in the late 1970s that this topic gained traction (Cerulo and Scribano, 2022;Kleres, 2011). Since then, sociology of emotions has developed into its own field of study (Turner and Stets, 2006).…”

“…In this study, we underline the argument developed by sociologists and anthropologists who have suggested that emotions should not be reduced to mere mental experiences, but be seen as social practices (Ahmed, 2017;Katz, 2002;Rosaldo, 1994;White, 1993). As emphasised by contemporary scholars of emotions and narrative (Cerulo and Scribano, 2022;Habermas, 2018;Kusenbach and Loseke, 2013;Turner and Stets, 2006), going beyond the minutiae of experience and linking emotions instead to narratives that sustain them might contribute to a broader understanding of many social phenomena. Researching narrated emotions can thus widen the analytic lens in the study of femicide.…”

While studies of femicide perpetrators have focused on background factors, such as criminal history and mental health conditions, little attention has been paid to their individual experiences. Perpetrators emotions and sense-making have often been overlooked and even dismissed. With a micro-sociological approach to violence, we identify the narrated emotions involved in the perpetration of intimate femicide. The data gathered are based on 33 open-ended interviews with convicted male perpetrators from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Honduras, Mexico, and Venezuela. We identify four main emotions reflecting participants’ experiences of femicide: Fear, expressed through stories of women as threats to self, family, and community; helplessness, expressed through stories of men being trapped, judged, and persecuted; and pain, connected to stories of jealousy and belittlement. These lead to anger, expressed through stories of bodily reactions and losing control. The findings indicate that intimate femicide perpetrators resort to lethal violence to regulate self-worth and remediate actions they feel were disruptive. Our research demonstrates the importance of embodied and narrated emotions to understand femicides. We argue that viewing femicide as a product of a shared pervasive emotional economy highlights the role of emotions in maintaining a gendered social order.

“…These Fordist laws are embedded within specific modes of regulation and accumulation patterns in capitalism, which have changed from Fordism to post-Fordism and, more specifically, from flexible specialisation to disaggregated production within liquid modernity, where one can always make choices without fully being in control of a planet threatened by climate change and environmental destruction. Simmel’s (Cerulo & Scribano, 2022; pp. 81–96 citing Simmel’s, 1903) prescient insights on time, the metropolis and fragmentation of attention, overthinking and a predisposed inability to perceive at least some moment of our lives without any economistic outcome in mind.…”

This critical reflective paper draws upon my reading, studying and teaching employment relations (ER) and human resource management (HRM) over the years, from a sociological perspective. I make a compelling case for ER as a research activity, an organisational habit and a way of reflexive thinking. There is a false perception that ER is outdated. Indifferent to fads, ER endeavours to see clearly and speak the truth fearlessly and excavate the challenges and possibilities of the socio-economic exchange within any employment relationship. ER’s real strength is its granular holistic, multi-layered understanding of the totality of the wage-effort bargain. It has always been interdisciplinary because it draws from a vast canvas of sociology, economics, political economy and even psychology. Tracing its trajectory, I map the context in which ER evolved from Fordism to Post-Fordism, how HRM tried to take its place, and why it cannot do what ER does. It is only with this critical sceptical inquisitive spirit of ER that an effective emotionally intelligent transparent HR-lifecycle with a well-thought-out employee voice mechanism can craft better workplaces. ER in India speak for gig workers and other casualised employment and intervenes urgently on their behalf by bringing their concerns to academic discussion and advocating change. In conjunction with critical management studies, the sociology of work and ER in India must go to the nub of inequality. It must reach out to broader constituencies to mitigate workplace inequalities in different situational and longitudinal work contexts.

“…In recent decades, there has been growing sociological interest in emotions: they now represent a particular field within the social sciences. Moreover, emotions have been increasingly regarded as a sociological matter (Stets & Turner, 2006;Bericat, 2015;Neckel & Pritz, 2019;Cerulo & Rafele, 2021). Sociological studies on emotions have been fundamental to understanding the "social nature of human emotions": carrying out sociological analyses of several emotions (love, trust, fear, pain, and so on) has made possible their investigation in many social fields (basically comparing emotions with institutions, work, gender, and so on).…”

Being grateful to Georg Simmel. Emotions, gratitude, and the relational concern of sociology in the globalized society

This paper argues for a sociological and relational concern of “gratitude” in Simmel’s thought as a key feature of human interaction as well as a key “emotive disposition” (Stimmung) to engage with the challenges of modern society. Georg Simmel is undoubtedly one of the most crucial theorists and a pillar in the social sciences, and his theoretical contribution also stands as the foundation of relational sociology stricto sensu. He taught that interactions supporting social processes must be investigated as forms of relations. A relation is a precise mode of being connected to others; it is a tie emerging from reciprocal action and acquires its consistency by generating causal effects on involved actors. Among his main insights within the sociological tradition, Simmel’s excellent concepts and arguments engage emotions as a sociological matter, that is, under a relational aspect. Not only do emotions have sociological relevance (that is, they are a worthy subject for sociologists), but they also characterize the precise manner of interaction among individuals. Emotions are the relational effect of being associated in an increasingly differentiated society, which apparently only neutralizes individuals’ emotive sides, or else instrumentally drives or “colonizes” them. Simmel explored gratitude as a particular emotion that is a form of relation and interaction: it has an eccentric position among the other emotions that he investigated in his many essays. Gratitude represents a non-symmetrical or economic (exchangeable) “transactive” emotion: it puts the giver and receiver in a peculiar socio-emotional form of reciprocity. By considering relations, emotions, and gratitude through rigorous textual exploration, this paper tackles Simmel’s view and challenges a globalized world and hybridized digital society. Finally, gratitude could be regarded as a demarcation criterion for identifying and distinguishing social interaction forms from other kinds of non-social processes or transactions.
