The work is remarkably interesting, and original and opens a path of inquiry for future dialogues. Just a few comments as contributions and beginning of the exchange:
It would be positive if the research questions about epigenetics; social also has a transmission from generation to generation and the views of classes are inherited and built, but always in development. The shame and class suffering of the ancestors produce different autobiographical conditions.
From the logic of the visual and the digital, it would be very interesting for the faces, from Levis Strauss to Goffman have discussed the proximity between masks, expressions and faces and in the Zoom of the work presented here faces are seen. Shame is one of the emotions that are most "placed" on the face, and this could be discussed.
Finally, it is suggested that the authors think of emotions as texts, as narratives, and as social practices that already tell about the person who experiences them.
