ABSTRACT

The emotions authors have been talking about should not be confused with mood, which is, among emotional facts, less connected to relationships. The very idea of a dominant emotion is founded on the fact that, when a human system is established, some emotions tend to reappear over time, whereas others do not. An emotional systems permeated by anger is thus generated, one where everything is polarised in a dialectic of attack, defence, counterattack. The dominant emotion of excitement/interest for the outside is embodied in him, a brilliant manager full of interests and acquaintances—so much so that he spent the last ten years far from home most of the time, with several female relationships. Emotions are mostly transmitted via bodily modification, although the role of psychophysiological changes for emotions is controversial. The communicational peculiarity of emotions would be the emission of unintentional communicative signals, which, as such, are different from most human communication.
