Quotes About Affectivity

He pensado muchas veces en los extraños movimientos de la afectividad. Octavio, si en verdad no quería ninguna relación conmigo, no tenía por qué comunicármelo por teléfono, sino simplemente olvidarme. Luego pensé que la mentalidad de oficinista está muy arraigada y ciertas personas se sienten obligadas a presentar su renuncia.

Emotion integrates but emotivity isolates. So free yourself from affectivity. In this absence of emotivity, you may have the impression at first that you become indifferent. But very soon you'll see that there is really affection for your surroundings. Emotion, affection, is giving.

C'est horrible de vivre une époque ou au mot sentiment, on vous répond sentimentalisme. Il faudra bien pourtant qu'un jour vienne où l'affectivité sera reconnue comme le plus grand des sentiments et rejettera l'intellect dominateur.

Não é a natureza que define a mulher: esta é que se define, retomando a natureza em sua afectividade.

Nature does not define woman: it is she who defines herself by reclaiming nature for herself in her affectivity.

the affectivity of the extraverted woman possesses a certain lability and shallowness because it is adapted to the ordinary life of human society.

Schiller was also aware that the two functions, thinking and affectivity (feeling-sensation), can take one another's place, which happens, as we saw, when one function is privileged:

ViaÅ£a afectiv? a introvertitului este în genere latura lui slaba., aceea pe care nu se poate neaparat conta. El se iluzioneaz? singur in aceasta privinta. iar alÅ£ii se iluzioneaz? si se deziluzioneaz? în leg?tur? cu el, dac? îi iau în calcul doar afectivitatea. Spiritul îi este mai sigur, caci este mai adaptat. Natura afectivit??ii sale este prea nedomolit?.

From the very fact, indeed, that I am conscious of the motives which solicit my action, these motives are already transcendent objects from my consciousness, they are outside; in vain shall I seek to cling to them: I escape from them through my very existence. I am condemned to exist forever beyond my essence, beyond the affective and rational motives of my act: I am condemned to be free.

For Rousseau, animals clearly possessed intelligence, sensibility, even the faculty of communication. Therefore it is not reason, or affectivity, or even language that differentiates the human being. On the contrary, everyone who has a dog knows perfectly well that the dog is more sociable and even more intelligent than, in some cases, certain human beings.

Shutting-down your identity requires a voyage out to K-space interzone. Zootic affectivity flatlines across a smooth cata-tension plateau and into simulated subversions of the near future, scorched vivid green by alien sex and war. You are drawn into the dripping depths of the net, where dynamic-ice security forces and K-guerillas stalk each other through labyrinthine erogenous zones, tangled in diseased elaborations of desire.

we believe that a number of the ideas discussed in this book—such as the social biofeedback theory of parental mirroring, the teleological and intentional stance, reflective function, the psychic equivalence and pretend modes of psychic reality, the alien self, mentalizing, affectivity, and, of course, affect regulation and mentalization—suggest a genuinely new direction for psychoanalysis and psychotherapy.
