The focus defined for dossier No. 5 is "Affective turn and social discourses: critiques, representations and policies", whose Coordinators are Eduardo Mattio (FFyH, UNC) - María Victoria Dahbar (CONICET - FFyH and FCC, UNC). It deals with the emotional grammars that regulate our affective-moral responsivity and have already been dealt with by the so-called "affective turn". Under this name, a heterogeneous series of investigations and explorations of supposedly unappealable places of sensibility are brought together. Taking this into account and a series of discussions, this issue aims to bring together contributions that (a) problematize and specify the theoretical dimensions of the affective turn, (b) critically address social discourses and cultural artifacts in which certain affective scripts are acted upon, (c) show the intersections between ethical and political issues raised by emotional grammars, as well as those that (d) examine the uniqueness of discussions on feelings and emotions in the framework of feminisms as a dimension of critique.
