Bouvard on Emotional Origination and Seasonal Positioning
Alright, and bouts of anger, anxiety, etc. also stem from how we perceive our obligations to the center? And could you say that they are sort of mimetically "extended" feelings (with their origin in the instinctual feelings), which we can thus mimetically control? (similar questions for positive emotions)
Yes, all the emotions derive from our position on some season, real or imagined (always more or less imagined). Anger derives from revenge, which is still rather difficult to set aside without simply channeling it into symptoms, anxiety registers a field of only partially known possibilities, which one can then sort out into the knowable and unknowable, actionable ad unactionable, etc. Representing larger scenes than the one generating the emotions is likely to be helpful in many cases--the person who made you angry was himself cheated by someone else, your anxieties can be reduced by engaging new technologies and social forms and seeing what you can know about them, etc. The center is no longer something everyone gets their own limited piece of but a new mode of reciprocity, like converting anger into firmness that doesn't seek payback.
