This chapter reveals other important phenomenological contributions to the understanding of this phenomenon, following the guiding thread of intentionality, the central concept of this philosophical movement. Although the affective experience of boredom seems to lack intentionality and meaning, this work will show that this is not always the case. In order to demonstrate this, the study will explore the different modalities of intentionality throughout the history of phenomenology, particularly within current phenomenological research, and their relation to the lived experience of boredom. The chapter focuses on the meaning of this common experience and affirms the importance of a phenomenology of boredom in order to maintain the dialectical tension of existence.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccess72 Filosofíaartículo
