English commentary: "The conception of pedagogic affect discussed here mobilises the insights of Spinoza's (1677/1994) psychophysical parallelism and Vygotsky's notion of a "zone of proximal development." In so doing, the article explores how pedagogy needs to foreground the role of teachers in classrooms and their impact on not only the cognitive dimensions of learning but also the corporeal."
