Abstract
This article proposes a theoretical approach to the analysis and critique of the emotions and feelings that are activated in the research on collective actions to pursue an ideal of social justice. This work arises from a reflection on common concepts about the collective emotions that remain undiscussed in this area, and develops a theoretical model that defends the mediated nature of the affective and its characterization as a habit, from the contributions of Antonio Damasio and Charles Sanders Peirce. The aim of the proposal is to develop a notion of affective disposition that account of the relationship between beliefs (and values), lifestyle and emotional styles (or structures of feeling).Downloads
