Narratives and emotions: The exchange of knowledge as secondary emotion

Abstract:

Our aim is to examine why trust can be considered a second-order emotion and how trust plays out differently in aesthetic and ordinary contexts can provide another mode for investigating second-order emotions. Our thesis is developed in three sections and a conclusion. In the first section, we have illustrated remarks and example analysis to show why narratives are important for our emotions. In the second section, we have examined how trust can be considered a second-order emotion and established criteria for identifying it as a second-order emotion. In the third section, we have presented one of the aims of trust, i.e. sharing knowledge between agents, when a testimony shares knowledge in an epistemic trust process with others.We have shown relationship construction between subjects and objects thanks to the trust, a second-order emotion that represents emotional ties between subjects to achieve a first-order emotion.
