Abstract

SCRIBANO, Adrián. Bodies and emotions in The Capital. Nómadas [online]. 2013, n.39, pp.29-45. ISSN 0121-7550.

It shows the relationships between senses, muscles-brain and flesh as axe of the policies of the bodies-emotions; it outlines the importance of enjoyment-pleasure and cruelty as keys to understanding the capitalistic sensibilities; and argues the existence of a kind of sociology of bodies-emotions in The capital. This trailing is possible through the understanding of capitalism as religion, and the node points of the moral's politic economy. It concludes that the understanding of capitalism as a system of social relationships is only possible by giving a central place to the bodies-emotions.

Keywords : body; emotions; flesh; enjoyment; pleasure; cruelty.
