La construcción afectiva de la realidad social (The Affective Construction of Social Reality)

La noción de una construcción afectiva de la realidad social mediante los sentimientos de aprobación y de desaprobación puede remontarse a la Teoría de los Sentimientos Morales de Adam Smith (1759). Relacionamos aquí el sistema moral de Smith con sus aportaciones a la auto-organización y al construccionismo social en su teoría económica. Analizamos asimismo la dimensión interaccional que se halla en la noción del 'espectador imparcial' de Smith, y vemos en ella un importante precedente de las teorías construccionistas del interaccionismo simbólico, y de las teorías dramatúrgicas de la identidad personal.

English Abstract:

The Affective Construction of Social Reality 

The affective construction of social reality through feelings of approbation and disapprobation is a notion which can be traced back to Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759). This paper relates Smith's system of morals to his insights on self-organization and social constructionism in his economic theory. The interactional dimension in Smith's notion of the 'impartial spectator' is also analyzed, and seen as an important precedent of the constructionist theories of the symbolic interactionists and of dramatistic theories of the self.
