L'importance du rôle des émotions dans la connaissance conduit à voir en elles bien davantage qu'un facteur perturbateur. Leur pertinence cognitive, de plus en plus reconnue par les sciences (naturelles, sociales, humaines...), consacre l'importance d'un tournant émotionnel (emotional turn). Les émotions constituent aussi de puissants moteurs de créativité et d'innovation, cruciaux dans la construction des formations socioculturelles. Les textes rassemblés dans le présent volume, dans une perspective résolument interdisciplinaire, traitent d'émotions puissamment agissantes dans l'existence, à la convergence des échelles individuelle et collective. Les deux premières parties s'interrogent sur la spécificité des émotions humainement vécues dans leurs interactions expérimentées via le corps et la raison. Les deux dernières parties abordent les émotions à une plus large échelle: celle des champs culturel et politique.
