This work intends to conduct a cartography of the indicators of a theory of affects in the works of B. Spinoza, S. Freud and D. W. Winnicott in the subjectivation processes they describe. The relationships between body and mind, affection and representation, as well as the participation of the sensoriality in the processes of subjective constitution are some of the recurring themes in each of the authors treated. We start from the practical philosophy of Spinoza, in which the affections are the driving force for knowledge and for the expansion of power. Then we expose Freud s thinking, which is based on the study of the concept of drive and on the understanding of affect as psychic representative of the drive. Finally, we come to the study of Winnicott s theory, in which sensory experience is essential to the processes of emotional development. We go through the general lines of thought of these authors on the subject of affection and sensoriality with the aim of a psychoanalytic thinking connected to sensorial experience. We draw some possible dialogues, as well as point out some differences between the authors, considering the different theoretical contexts to which they belong.
