Sažetak
Culture refers to the repository of knowledge, experience, beliefs, values, attitude, meanings, roles, relations, concepts of time and space (etc.) shared by a group of people. It is communication, the way of life, a collective programming that distinguishes the members of one group from another. It also affects how the members of the group experience and express emotions, favouring some and suppressing other emotional states. Since cultures are adaptive and change in response to environmental and social challenges, their influence on emotional experience of its members changes and it is different across different periods of time. Therefore, the experience of emotions is not just different across cultures, but also within a single culture in different historical periods. Jealousy and envy are considered as complex emotions shaped by social interaction and cultural models. The presentation focuses on some aspects of the discussion on the similarities (in function, motivational framework…) and differences between the two emotions, mostly from the perspective of (cross-)cultural history, linguistics, and the history of emotions. The analyses will include historical and contemporary examples from Europe, China, and Iran.
