Millions of subjects living in the Global-South receive benefits from social policies that play a central role in the reproduction of the regime of accumulation. This work critically reflects on the potential links among social policies, world images, and policies of emotions.In doing so, the following argumentative path is followed: first, we provide aschematic presentation of the link between the regime of accumulation andsocial policies; second, we briefly introduce the concepts of world images andthe politics of emotions; third, we continue by establishing the relationshipsbetween the points exposed in the previous sections; finally, we delineate someconsequences of the analysis. To conclude, we argue for the need for criticallyanalysis of the constituents of the social policies that ?give shape? to the sociability, life experiences, and sensibilities of millions of ?aided? people and their recursive validation processes.
