Abstract:
This paper aims to point out some contributions from Angel Pino's studies for the understanding of affection in a cultural-historical perspective. The author's elaborations on the modes of articulation between the biological and cultural plans in human development are taken as the axis to address the theme. Within the issues in discussion, passages from Pino's theoretical construction are resumed, in which the relation between the biological and the cultural is thematized, so that, to and from it, we can point out some reflections about the affective plan, elaborated in different moments of his academic career. Pino shows us that a fruitful reflection vein is the one that addresses affection in the context of human relations, social and historical production inscribed in the materiality that constitutes us as human beings and permeated by signification.
