ABSTRACT
The study of emotions, from sociological and social psychological and anthropological standpoints, has burgeoned in recent decades. Daunting as is the task of adding anything new to these stalwart contributions, one can still investigate the style and form in which emotions are given presence in everyday interactions. Everyday life is conducted by verbal and visual presentation of self, presentations in which cognitive and emotional factors play significant parts. Nearly everyone who has written on emotions and the emotionality of the human agent has argued that there is an intimate connection between them and the body. Either bodily sensations are transformed into cognitive definitions or cognitive definitions become manifest as physical sensations. 1
