Abstract: Postemotionalism is a new concept of sociological theories of emotions introduced by Stjepan G.Me trovic in the 1990s.Compared with the traditional sincere spontaneous emotion,postemotion,in his interpretation,is a quasi-emotion which is intellectualized,mechanical and mass-produced.Metrovic’s postemotionalism destructs the dualism of emotion and ration,the class-based analysis of emotion theories,and the traditional faith in truth,action and social responsibility,and revises the well-accepted concepts of modernism and postmodernism.

Key words: postemotionalism, Stjepan G.Metrovic, a new form of social emotion
