Kryzys więzi międzyludzkich jako kryzys kultury emocjonalnej
A Crisis of Interpersonal Bonds as a Crisis of Emotional Culture

Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to describe the symptoms of the crisis of interpersonal bonds in the perspective of the crisis of emotional culture. The core of the analyzes of the causes and symptoms of the crisis of interpersonal ties are the concepts related to the emotional turn and the discursive dimension of affective life. The crisis of emotional culture is described in the text in the light of progressive individualization and diminishing intimacy, which supersedes the commonality of goals and attitudes. The main thesis of the text is that the invasiveness of expert discourses and consumer culture leads to the wind-down of emotional culture, rationalization of the private sphere and breaking axio-normative constraints that regulate social attitudes, also in the dimension of creating and maintaining interpersonal bonds.
