Grudge: The Emotional Side of Resentment

Due to the rise of radical right-wing movements and the political flourishing of conspiracy myths, sociology in recent years has increasingly focused on the functioning of resentment. However, little attention has been paid to the fact that resentment is not only a specific attitude, but is also accompanied by typical emotions. Grudge is that emotional side of resentment and forms the affective ground of resentful attitudes. In my keynote, grudge will be explained in its phenomenological characteristics, its emotional structure, its historical changes and its current social and political significance.

Emotions and Senses: Experiences, practices, and sensory networks

The main purpose of this paper is to present a theoretical-methodological approach with particular emphasis on emotions and senses. Although the sociology of the body (Turner, 1989) and the sociology of emotions (Flam, 2012; Bericat, 2016) have traveled parallel paths, their trajectories have separated, and it is not always clear how it is possible to relate them methodologically. However, I propose that in the field of sensory studies (Howes, 2014), a bridge can be established that convincingly links senses and emotions with significant analytical potential. In this talk, I will emphasize the articulation between senses and emotions from the field of the sociology of the senses (Simmel, 2009; Vannini et al., 2012), and particularly from three analytical levels and their respective methodological resources: experience, practices, and sensory networks between human and non-human entities. I will recover some research findings I have carried out about the urban sensory experiences in my context, Mexico City.
