Resumen de Discursive Emotion Literacy and Conceptual Metaphors of Affect with "Inside Out" Movie: a case study of young people's competence for discursive emotion literacy in an international school in Bucharest
Emotional literacy is mostly defined as a competence to identify, understand, manage and express emotions. However, most approaches do not focus enough on the dimension of the interactional and cultural construction - inclusively the discursive one - of emotions. Emotions are rather viewed as individual psychological phenomena and not as social constructs. The focus of this paper is to spot students' ability to understand and orient towards the cultural and interactional shaping of emotions. The target is not only the students’ ability to identify and express emotions, but, also, their ability to understand and express how our emotions depend on the social norms, roles and interaction with other people.
