A new understanding of emotions has been developed in the first two decades of the 21st century that make it possible to develop new research programs in the humanities and social sciences that take into account the role played by material culture and social environment in the constitution of emotional experiences. From this starting point, this article analyses a 19th century hospital for incurable, chronic and elderly patients based in Madrid, characterizing it as an emotional space, that is: one in which managing emotions was the main medical practice. For this, we will analyse the theoretical proposals developed by Durand-Fardel and Charcot regarding these conditions. We will use the concepts of frame and framed space, by Erving Goffman, as an explanatory tool that will allow us to understand medical practice structured the emotional experience of the inmates. We will define conceptual tools that will help us to analyse available sources from a new perspective, that of historical ontology.
