Situated approaches to affectivity overcome an outdated individualistic perspective on emotions by emphasizing the role embodiment and environment play in affective dynamics. Yet, accounts which provide the conceptual toolbox for analyses in the philosophy of emotions do not go far enough. Their focus falls (a) on the present situation, abstracting from the broader historico-cultural context, and (b) on adopting a largely functionalist approach by conceiving of emotions and the environment as resources to be regulated or scaffolds to be used. In this paper, I argue that we need to : We need (a) to acknowledge that emotions are not situated in undetermined "contexts" but in concrete socio-culturally specific practices referring to forms of living; and (b) to agree that not only are context and emotions for the sake of something else but also that the meaning-disclosive dimension of affective intentionality is structured by situatedness as well. To do so, I offer a multidimensional approach to situatedness that integrates the biographical and cultural dimensions of contextualization within the analysis of situated affective dynamics. This approach suggests that humans affectively disclose meaning (together) which is at once product and producer of specific forms of living - and these are always already subjects of (politically relevant) critique.
情境化情感研究方法通过强调身体体现和环境在情感动态中的作用，克服了对情感的过时个人主义观点。然而，为情感哲学分析提供概念工具箱的理论还不够完善。它们的关注点在于：（a）当前情境，忽略了更广泛的历史文化背景；（b）在很大程度上采用功能主义方法，将情感和环境视为有待调节的资源或可供利用的支架。在本文中，我认为我们需要：我们需要（a）认识到情感并非存在于不确定的“情境”中，而是存在于与生活形式相关的具体社会文化特定实践中；（b）认同不仅情境和情感是为了其他事物而存在，而且情感意向性的意义揭示维度也是由情境构成的。为此，我提供了一种情境化的多维度方法，该方法在情境化情感动态分析中整合了情境化的传记和文化维度。这种方法表明，人类共同情感性地揭示意义，这种意义既是特定生活形式的产物，也是其生产者——而这些生活形式始终是（与政治相关的）批判对象。
