O imperativo da moralidade e a socialização dos afetos:

proposições a partir de Émile Durkheim

Abstract

This article to intend approach the notion of affects, in particular, love, conjugality and the modern family from the perspective of the French sociologist Émile Durkheim (1858-1917). Based on his basic concepts, I defend that to think about emotions in his work, we must consider his definition of morality. I note that the interpretations about marriage and the modern family, ideological institutions par excellence — carried out in their paradigmatic formulations on the “science of society” — contributed decisively to the debate on feelings to be detach from the hegemonic observations of psychology.
