Out of body. Language, emotions and art in Vygotsky's "Notebooks"
Rivista Internazionale di Filosofia e Psicologia December 31, 2020 Felice Cimatti
Human emotions can be understood as artificial entities external to the body, shaped by culture and language, with a specific biological goal. This view combines Vygotsky's historical-cultural psychology and Chomsky's theory of language to extend the extended mind thesis, arguing that emotions are not confined within bodily boundaries. The model is applied to artistic human affect, suggesting emotions are constructed through social and linguistic processes rather than being purely internal or natural.
