Resumo
Based in a novel 'meta-reflexive' review of sociology of emotions (SoE) articles, we suggest that there are two primary SoE theoretical traditions that function within geographic silos: the USA is distinctly social psychological, while in the UK and Australia, SoE is more aligned with the humanities. In both traditions, parallel calls are emerging for interdisciplinarity and further engagement with physiological and pre-personal elements of emotion. Based in Archer's and Bourdieu's concepts of reflexivity, we assert the merits of reflexively examining SoE, and then identify key changes in SoE that have emerged across time and geography. Using Kuhn's work on paradigm shifts, we conclude that SoE is entering a stage of growth and change, and raise important questions about the subdiscipline's future direction.
