Abstract

Introduction: the word emotion comes from the Latin emovere, relating it to movement; in the Spanish etymology of Corominas the term mover includes the entry emoción, as associated to conmover, motivo (as related to movement) and motivar, from the Latin motoris or "that moves".

Objective: in our long-standing work with people with Parkinson's disease, we have been developing this emotion-movement relationship from an inter(trans)disciplinary perspective, understanding body movement as an anthropological problem that requires a relational, deep and situated view.

Method: argumentation and theoretical analysis and discussion. The methodological approach is based on mixed method research with elements of autoethnography and participant observation, investigating the problem from within. We appeal to evidence from behavioral and social neuroscience, ecological understanding from health sciences, relational perspective from cognitive anthropology and learning perspective from educational neuroscience.

Results: A key concept is paradoxical kinesia, a behavioral phenomenon where the individual relates to his environment through the synchronization or engagement of the perceptual-motor system with the action qualities of the environment or affordances. What our research suggests is that among the affordances that the environment can offer, social affordances can be highlighted, giving sense to the participation of motivation in the improvement of the movement of people affected with Parkinson's disease.

Conclusions: we suggest that social affordances are as much a component of movement as are the bodily elements and physical-biochemical mechanisms that sustain it.
