ABSTRACT

To date, discussions of emotion have been limited to considerations about its nature and which explanatory model can bring to a more coherent understanding. William James (1884) and naturalistic pragmatists promoted an emotion’s explanatory approach that has some continuity nowadays. This article will explore one account of emotion´s experience with respect to an embodied and situated approach. This article will take up two issues: 1) that one of the elements in the modern research on emotion comes from William James and the pragmatists when arguing beyond de mind/body dichotomy and making room for the concept of an embodied human emotion and its coupling with the cultural environment, and 2) that these ideas have a place in explanatory frameworks about situated emotion, approach that it will be detailed and the ground to propose that the experience of emotion emerges from the interaction between biological subjects/agents with their environments and that there is a recursivity in both senses.
