Abstract
This paper distinguishes between affect and emotion as two different aspects of human feeling. Ways of conceptualising such feelings as socially organised as well as individually experienced are then suggested. These concepts include 'structures of feeling', 'abiding affects', 'emotional habitus' and fleeting emotional reactions. Illustrations of each of these are provided. Finally, research methods drawing on observation, free association and imagery are particularly appropriate for the investigation of collective feelings.
