Hi, Andy. 
  
Emotions and history 
I disagree a bit with your claim that anyone on this list... I think it is in Western common sense (and Jay was pointing to this in a way). There is this idea that emotions can take us by surprise, make us irrational, and so forth. Personally, I find difficult sometimes to see things in a different way. The proof is in the pudding: Jay has been working from a sociocultural approach for many years, however, he says: 
"Many emotions are shared and distributed, and indeed arise only in dyadic or larger social group interactions. There are certainly also collective feelings of many kinds (mob frenzy being the most famous, but also collective religious mania/fervor and many others). As cognition is not purely individual, so affect is not either."
Implicitely, this assert could be a bit misleading (again, not that I do not produce misleading statements, I do it a lot!), because there would be the assumption that emotions are private or at least individual as only "many of them are shared and distributed... there are also (I would underline 'also') colective feelings". So if "many of them" are  so and so, what happens with the rest. Should we then think that the rest are internal and private? Would not this lead to the dychotomy individual/social. I would believe, that the way out of this is, again, history, the movement of emotions... Emotions always happen in social contexts. In the same way as cognition... (does anyone what to give me some help here?). Otherwise, we construct entities, and then we find difficult to understand how such independent entities come together and can communicate with each other. In brief, even myself that comes with this assert, I tend to de-historicise emotions.
 
Body as artefact
If the body is an artefact, we have another problem: were does the body start/finish? There is the famous example of the blind person and the stick (I think that is Bateson), where does the body begin, if the person 'sees' with the stick (studies about plasticity discuss these issues, and how the brain learns to 'see' or maybe to see with other brain regions, that are not the occipital part of the brain). Does the body finish in the brain, in the hand, or in the tip of the stick (or in the tip of other artifacts that help to have a better 'view' of the world by a person with visual imparements). Emotions happen in the body, but can we isolate the body from its context, namely social life? You would answer "no, that is why I put the body in the same category as other artifacts". But I am not sure then the identification of the body as artefact is helping us understanding something (some help here as well!). We can see the horse as an artefact, but has the same place as an artefact that a hammer? What is the similarity and the difference. We have to thame the horse... while the hammer we built it before (maybe we thamed the wood and the metal beforehand). What I try to point out is to the fact that something interesting to realise is that the body is at the same time the axe and the wood we are cutting, and while some wood can be easily transformed into toothsticks, for example, other woods are not - in that sense the body is complex, and also... it is so irremediable stuck to the mind, that we could have a un-solvable connundrum if we only walk this way through this problem of the body. What do you think?

I know, though, that one cannot tug on the end of the string without having the entire skein unravel about my ears. So, I post some few ideas from here and there to start being in the discussion.

However, as it has been pointed here, he does not finish his proposal. If we do not want to have a dychotomy, if the task is to create a general psychology, then how could/should we study emotions. Nowadays, still we have the same struggle in psychology: emotions have to do with the unconscious, or they have to do with cognition, or they have to do with the body functions. As it has been pointed out here, as well, all those apporaches can be reduced to two psychologies (The Crisis in Psychology, Collected works -CW- vol. 3), defined in philosophical terms, as materialist ('vulgar') and idealist psychologies (The Teachings about emotions, CW vol. 6), and again one of the biggest struggles is how to study them. Vygotsky gives an answer, and the answer could be taken only as the dream of a post-Rusian-Revolution psycholoists

However, this line I think can offer some points to think about the present, facing the problems you mention, Jay, and then understanding what is what psychology can offer to us today in the construction of the world (this implies a political agenda).
> >

Because one thing is to have the principle of 'rejecting dychotomies', the other thing is to start doing something practical with that premise, for example research. I supose you can see that I am breaking reality in two: one thing is 'to think', the other 'to apply'. However, I think that this practice of discussing is importants in the possible practices of researching. I supose, that this is the kind of problems one has to address at the end of research, if I could express what I say. I guess we cannot scape so easily the logics of certain dominant approaches. I guess as well that this is not by chance, because of the fact that consciousness in fact has a relative independence, and allows us to detach from the very present moment, and that is why it has a programmatic element that makes us so particular beings, and have history... Does th

> > One important question that Vygotsky posed was how to understand both the continuity and the difference of humans and animals. To be honest, I am not interested in animal psychology. I think that the issue of 'continuity but difference' is an important reason for stuyding things historically. History is one important clue for understanding emotions. However, part of the problem that this entails are linked to Fodor's paradox. Michael Roth gently suggested that I studied Turner. Turner (it is J. Turner, for example in 'On the origins of human emotions. a sociological inquiry into the evolution of human affect) has done quite an important and consistent work in the study of emotions. He is a very productive and talented scholar in the field. He has been interested in solving the issues of biology and history in relation to emotions. However, because he focuses on the premise, that the only way in which we can feel, let's call them, 'sublime' emotions is thanks to the fact th
> at they were already hardwired when we came down the trees (otherwise we would have them appear? and Jay, you have pointed at this in a way in your recount on 'solidarity' feelings and the like). There is then something a-historical in this premise: emotions were hardwire once and forever, so, we should study the esential emotions that make us human. I think we could bring here, Vygotsky's criticism to James and Lange, because emotions depend and only depend on the body, then there seem to be no history. The question about dychotomies would be, why do we talk about dychotomy when we have such a plain explanation: we have a problem, and an answer, and it is unidirectional and 'transparent'. As I understand the issue of dychotomy is the fact that once one make such a big claim, lots of things are left aside. I remember, Andy, your discussion about the fact that we are brains. If we are brains, acording to the neurocientist you were quoting some few weeks ago, then when he is as
> ked: "but what about ethics and society?". His answer, as far as I remember, was: "ah, that is another thing". This phenomenon of the appearance of "the other thing", is what we call dychotomy, isn't it? Two separated things, and one explanation.
> > 
> > The other side of the coin is studied by approaches based in social construction: emotions are built socially, so they are diverse, and it is impossible to encapsulate. We can study their history. Nowadays we have so many references to emotions in social science (some people call them the affective turn, so many turns we have!). The most important aspect of them is the historisation of emotions. Emotions are social and historically constructed. Personally, I study a paradigmatic author, Hochschild and his study of emotional labour. Emotions are socially constructed, they have to be study in context, they have a history. Individuals sell their emotions to institutions. Then we can study for example the emotions involved in particular practices. This side, in psychology, the historical one, has been studied in psychology. Vygotsky mentions this about Freud. He recognises Freud's enormous contribution, when he studied emotions in the history of individuals. Hochschild, among 
> many, emphasizes the history of emotions. Is a sociocultural approach in coincidence with a socioconstructionist approach? I would think the answer is know. There is a difference between socioconstructionist or interactionist approaches with a sociocultural (or more concretely Vygotskian approach). This could be another thread of discussion. I am aware that this has been discussed here in the past, but it is still work in progress, I recon :)

I was saying, if artefacts are both, material and ideal, and if 'ideal' can not be considered as separated from emotions, then artefacts involve emotions, even the emotions of being able to control a situation, but many others emotions at stake could be materialised, like the possibility of winning the market to a competitor or solving a family problem -and then linked to solidarity- and so on. However, the use of the artefact, is important, and emotions change. Driving the first engine car involved very different emotons than tho

Also, I think a car is full of knowledge.
