the sociological study of embodied love: the construction of a subject of study weaving theories and levels of analysis

This article presents some thoughts about the construction process of the subject of study: love between couples from "us" and its relationship with the problem of Sense (Sinn). We suggest that Sense -understood as 'meaning' and 'orientation'- serves as a bridge to link the levels of analysis (semantics-situation-enminded bodies) and theoretical proposals, apparently impossible to measure. In this case, the semantic of love (images, discourses, symbols) exists before the situation and guides the meanings generated by this by couples that ‘get old together’. Finally, enminded bodies experiment sense but they label it by using the social semantics and the meanings generated in a situation. In this article, we develop how this connection of levels of analysis is possible through the Sense.
