Abstract:

This paper attempts to explain the generation of emotions—the formations of emotional syntax—by synthesizing Durkheimian ritual theory and Freudian psychoanalytic model. In this attempt, contemporary theories of emotions, (1) Randall Collins’ interaction rituals theory, (2) Jonathan Turner’s evolutionary perspective, and (3) Thomas Scheff’s psychoanalytical approaches are applied. The objective of this paper is to present an idea and model for finding patterns of what Turner calls “emotional syntax” in empirical encounters. Finding these patterns of how people present their emotions in encounters has theoretical implications to explain the effects of emotions for social solidarity. In particular, the study would contribute to the understanding of how positive and negative emotions effect social solidarity.
