Apart from presenting accurate and final considerations on a quantitatively significant object of study, this study intends to formulate and offer a demonstration basis of the hypothesis that we feel what we feel moved by the ideological and discursive formation to which we belong. It seems to be accepted that we think guided by the ideological formation that envolves us; it also seems undeniable that we say what our discursive formation determines. The hypothesis I intend to demonstrate in a relative way is that our affection and passions are also moved and lived in the light of the formation that establishes the limits for the possibilities of “our” affective sensibility.
