  4. WHAT FOR DO YOU NEED SOCIOLOGY HERE?

  5. Argument • There is a problem with social sciences disciplines: they do not communicate to each other (and beyond) • The problem´s name – centripetal policy • There is the time to reverse it – we need centrifugal social sciences policies

  6. Two parts I - What are sciences useful for? II – A sociological contribution for emotions conceptualization

  7. Cartesian social utopia deity - norms God face faces down Political face faces down society communities´s faces face up People´s multiple faces face up psycho-biology

  8. Is there society at all? “There is no such thing as society!” Mrs. Thatcher What is the use of sociology (and humanities, and social sciences)? Is not it economics enough? Weak forces that happens to reveal strength?

  10. Damasio´s critique The thinking habit of conceive unity on tissues should be compatible with the autonomy of cells

  11. Social critique to biology Tissues and organs struggle for life as much as societies do. “O povounidojamaisserávencido” “United, no one ever defeat us” Difficult it is, life depends on unity. Still, one lives. How it happens?

  13. What is social instability? • 1st (weak) consciousness built by instability find it self hoping for (strong) stability • 2nd to face auto instability claims for a lot of energy • 3rd saving self energy can spend a lot of other´s energy (from society, slaves, nature) • 4th to face instability becomed a evolutio-nary cognitive need (global warming; w(a)r-rying)

  14. What do we need? Weak and strong energy from cosmos: • strong inspiration – to protect us from ourselves; • weak effort – to claim from out of the humans whatever energy is needed to organize better life. We need moral-ecological inspiration for our sciences. Should we look for it?

  15. Out of centripetal policy • Along with hipper specialization draw by state-corporate labeling interests, one need to develop a transversal treadmill across sciences and humanities for social sciences survival sake • That is the time for centrifugal sciences and crossing concepts (such as weak and strong; emotions and bonds)

  16. II PartSocial sciences contributions Thomas Scheffdefinition of social emotion: • Bodies feel deep inside threatens to the social bonds • Bodies produce shame emotions to deal with social threats to their social bonds
