Abstract

Given the importance and the relevance of the affects in the genesis of the subjectivation processes, this article has as its central objective to discuss the theses formulated by Daniel Stern, author who has focused, in recent years, detailed comments on the primary processes of subjectivation of the infant, giving a special attention to the subject of the affective experience. Starting from a localization of the affects in his theory, we discuss the temporal form of feelings in the context of the interpersonal relations, to discuss then two of the main concepts formulated by him: vitality affects and the affective attunement. Throughout this discussion other relevant subjects will also be contemplated, such as the notions of affective interaction, empathy and emotional communication.
