This essay presents some reflections on the process of emergence and popularization of "mindfulness" practices at schools in Argentina. The starting hypothesis is that the introduction of this type of initiative is closely related to changes in contemporary ways of conceiving health and disease. The chosen approach strategy is based, firstly, on identifying some coordinates from which the integration of new age "techniques" in educational institutions can be understood, by investigating people's representations of about health and therapy. Second, the growing role of the language of new age therapies and certain readings of neurosciences is problematized, at the intersection of contemporary discourses focused on education and health. Finally, an attempt is made to pay for an already existing line of analysis; that links certain ways of the introduction of these new age or mindfulness pedagogical practices to contemporary forms of medicalization and governance of childhoods.

Although the anthropological study of emotions dates back several decades, studies related to its presence and uses in religious groups are more recent and with little development in Argentina. This paper contributes to the efforts to understand how emotions are evoked as part of religious practices by analysing Soka Gakkai International of Argentina's (SGIAR) Buddhism. My general argument is that Buddhism operates as a knowledge system that provides a set of conceptual tools that allows its practitioners to transform their subjectivities. I will stress the role that emotions have in this process, and how they are locally conceptualized according to some key Buddhist concepts, such as the ten states of life, karma, and the principle of oneness of individual and environment. This religious practice involves a process of emotion rationalization by classifying them in terms of upper and lower emotions. The incorporation of this worldview shapes SGIAR member's perceptions about themselves and others, as well as their decisions about how they should relate to them. These ideas about emotions, as both a goal to achieve and a means to do it, together with the Buddhist ritual practice, allow members to resolve and overcome difficult situations, feeling better and happier about themselves.

In Argentina, running as a lifestyle is channeled mainly -although not exclusively- through running teams. As key spaces for the sociability of runners, these training groups are also configured as conveying the main ethical and aesthetic precepts of running. Within a team, members have the possibility of constructing their different criteria of self-identification and going through their own itineraries as runners. In this article, two classic categories of anthropological thought (the Apollonian and Dionysian emotional configurations formulated in the School of Culture and Personality) are the starting point to describe the contrasting characteristics of two runner teams in the Argentinean city of Mar del Plata.

Starting from considering that social policies constitute a central link between the systemic order and the world of life of the populations, the aim of this paper is to explore the emotions of women mothers who have Conditional Cash Transfers of Income in Argentina linked to the social care and the conditionalities that they entail. This will be carried out based on a qualitative strategy, based on in-depth interviews. It is concluded that the social policies under study consolidate emotions linked to self-denial, postponement, the obligation in relation to the care tasks that they suppose and demand. This series of practices, emotions and feelings of the populations receiving the social policies worked, allow us to notice the connections between waiting, postponement and moral obligation in relation to social care.

This article analyzes the celebrations of the Argentine Bicentenary in 2010, and especially the historic-artistic parade organized by Fuerza Bruta in Buenos Aires. My hypothesis states that this parade was one of the most important performances of the Cultural Policies during the last decade to confront the traditional identitarian imaginary of White-European origin of the Argentinians, associated to elites, and legitimate a new multicultural imaginary, associated to the popular. Furthermore, I discuss the theoretical and methodological importance of analyzing music, dance and theater in order to understand the efficacy of this kind of celebrations. Therefore, I examine the ways in which these aesthetic expressions bring about intense senses and emotions that operate as powerful iconic and indexical meanings among participants. In this way, the cultural meanings and values that the ritual tries to legitimize become desirable: in this case, a new imaginary about the Argentine identity, through a festive ritual of national commemoration.

We propose to investigate the regulatory processes of sensation in the world of work, studying how the bodies and emotions are built. We take as reference the Plan Nacional Jóvenes con Más y Mejor Trabajo, using in-depth interviews for who participated in the Programa de Orientación e Inducción al mundo del trabajo (POI) in three employment offices in Mendoz, Argentina. The jobs search process, linked to inclusive policies, are a key that allows us to recognize the constant ideological exercise, as imperative and seduction, which carries the possibility of effective inclusion of individuals in society. This analysis, situated in a thematic cross between social expulsion and inclusive policies, examines the effectiveness of such programs from relegated dimensions in sociological studies; specifically the body and emotions, recognizing the complex relationship between agency and structure of social relations.

This text explores and analyses the relationship between pain, emotions, gender and moralities from chronic headaches classified as migraine. According to the narratives of patients who suffer them, there are states of feelings associated with loss of emotional control that are expressed and take on physical reality In the body in the form of migraine headaches, which vary with gender and the local contexts in which they are produced. The fieldwork was done in a public hospital in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (Argentina) where people with this type of headache were interviewed. Through an analysis of the narratives, the ruptures that generate migraines become visible towards normalized patterns in suffering chronic pain, as well as people's sufferings and strategies for dealing with the dual nature of these afflictions as physical and emotional experiences that are crossed and mediated by moralities and gender.

December 2001 resulted in an increase in the public conflict about policies related to bodies in Argentina. Poverty, hunger, unemployment and social pain were fundamental conflictive nodes. As part of a research program about collective action ongoing since 1994, this paper aims to divulge the main results obtained between 2002 and 2007 about the traits of post-crisis social conflict, devoting special attention to the perceptions, emotions and feelings associated with that context. Using this approach, the study attempts to answer the questions: How is it possible to characterize the current state of mechanisms for what is socially bearable and devices to regulate sensations? What is the status of the battle of the bodies? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
