Shakespeare and Early Modern Emotion

An International and Interdisciplinary Conference

29 June – 1 July 2011

The Andrew Marvell Centre, The University of Hull

This conference will explore the performance and representation of emotion in the work of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. In the last decade, scholars have been increasingly interested in the cultural history of emotions, arguing that they should be regarded as ‘social phenomena’ rather than inward experiences. At the same time, we have seen a resurgence of interest in the ethical and philosophical aspects of literary texts, and a return to thinking about ideas of ‘human nature’.

How did Shakespeare and his contemporaries respond to and/or shape early modern conceptions of emotion? How do early modern plays and poems speak to current debates about emotion, culture, and what it is to be human? Do early modern texts suggest that emotions are bound up with language and culture, or can we make a case for emotions as a transhistorical or even ‘universal’ category?

A broad range of papers are invited, but possible topics might include: the history of medicine and/or the body; the language of emotion; early modern rhetorical culture; discussions of emotion in classical and/or Renaissance literary criticism; emotions on the stage; antitheatrical anxieties; emotion and disease; emotional contagion and mimicry; sympathy and empathy; the cultural significance of tears, laughter, etc.; theories of tragedy; cognitive and social neuroscientific approaches to emotion.

Confirmed keynote speakers include:

Abstracts (no more than 150 words) for 20 minute papers should be sent to Richard Meek r.meek@hull.ac.uk by 1 March 2011.

Call for papers – “Norbert Elias, Emotional Styles, and Historical Change”

Norbert Elias, Emotional Styles, and Historical Change

An Interdisciplinary Collaboratory

ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions, Change Program

University of Adelaide 14-15 June, 2011

Call for Papers

source

1. Conceptualization

This is an international Collaboratory on the historical development of emotional styles in

Europe and North America from medieval times to the present. The meeting will focus on the

seminal ideas of the sociologist Norbert Elias about changes in emotions and society in his

The Civilising Process (1939) and his work more generally. Contributions are sought from

historians, sociologists, cultural theorists and others working in the field of the history of

emotions, and may take the form of substantial historical essays or theoretical papers

discussing alternative models and interpretations to those of Elias.

Besides making substantive contributions to historical knowledge, the Collaboratory will

address two important theoretical issues:

– what are the drivers of change in Western societies’ emotional regimes?

–  what is the role of collective emotions in socio-historical change?

These questions have been chosen because of their intrinsic importance and their salience for

sociologists and anthropologists, as well as historians and students of law, media, politics and

religion.

2. Date and Venue

The Collaboratory will be held at the University of Adelaide 14-15 June, 2011. It is

sponsored by the ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions, Change Program.

The meeting is organized by Professor David Lemmings and Professor Ann Brooks.

3. Call for papers

Please submit an abstract of 200 words by 1 February 2011. Completed papers should be

submitted by 15 April 2011. Papers are invited on the following themes:

The history of emotions, especially relating to:

– collective emotions and historical change

– collective identity

– mass emotions and media

– violence

– the body

– crime, the administration of justice and punishment

– gender and social theory

– the state and emotional politics

Papers should not exceed 8,000 words in length. They will be pre-circulated to delegates and

uploaded onto the Collaboratory website. At the meeting abbreviated presentations will be

made by all but the keynote speakers so as to maximise time for discussion. Discussants will

be called for at a later point and further details will be circulated in January 2011.

Abstracts should be submitted to david.lemmings@adelaide.edu.au and

ann.brooks@adelaide.edu.au

4. Keynote speakers

Keynotes will include Professor Barbara Rosewein (Loyola University of Chicago),

Professor Bryan Turner (City University of New York and the University of Western

Sydney), Professor Nicole Eustace (New York University) and Professor Stephen Mennell,

(University College Dublin and the Norbert Elias Foundation).

5. Registration and Accommodation

Appel à communications : Émotions pré-modernes entre Occident et Orient à Istanbul, Septembre 2011

The Cultural History of Emotions in Pre-modernity II

Emotions East and West

İstanbul, Sept. 29-Oct. 01, 2011

Building on the momentum of the successful 2008 workshop held at Umeå University in Sweden, a new conference on the cultural history of emotions is now being organized, this time in İstanbul, Turkey. Developed jointly by historians at Sabancı University (İstanbul), Bilkent University (Ankara), University of Washington (Seattle) and the Network for Cultural History of Emotions in Pre-modernity (CHEP) at Umeå University, the program will run over three days and include six invited keynote talks and a full calendar of talks by established scholars, post-graduates and advanced graduate students in the arts and humanities, in addition to providing opportunities to sample life in one of the world’s most fascinating cities.
The conference’s general theme is Emotions in East and West.  So far the history of emotions has been dominated by a western and European perspective. Our aim is to organize a first conference on this theme in Turkey which we hope will attract new scholars and students into the field and bring researchers from east and west together for discussions on how to develop comparative and multicultural analyses in the future. We welcome contributions on all aspects of the cultural history of emotions from as many disciplines and diverse approaches as possible, including (but not limited to) history, the history of ideas, art, literature, musicology, politics, philosophy, cultural anthropology, religion, and gender studies.  The conference will continue to explore the broad themes of the Umeå gathering: for example, emotions as a historical concept, emotions in religious and political contexts, visual representations of emotions and emotional gestures, the language of emotions and its literary manifestations, music and emotions, the gendering of emotions, sensibility, sentimentalism, love, melancholy, and despair. In addition we will especially welcome papers dealing with inter-cultural representations of emotions (Easterners and Westerners representing each other’s emotions), emotions and cultural identities, multi-cultural and comparative perspectives.
The organizing committee is inviting submissions of one-page abstracts of papers to be summarized as 20 minute talks at the İstanbul conference.  The papers should, in general, treat the topic of the history of emotions in the pre-modern period.  For the Umeå workshop the “pre-modern period” was presumed to end at the turn of the 18th century, which is acceptable from a strictly western perspective but questionable when the focus of the conference broadens to take in the East, where the nature of “modernity” and the broad moment of its inception are contentious issues.  Accordingly, papers dealing with non-western emotions in the 18th century (and even later) will be considered when a compelling argument is made for the “pre-modernity” of the emotional context. The language of the Conference is English. Please send one-page abstracts before Dec. 01 2010, to: chep2011@bilkent.edu.tr

BSECS 40th Annual Conference : “Emotions”

Source: British Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies

The annual meeting of the British Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies is Europe’s largest and most prestigious annual conference dealing with all aspects of the history, literature, and culture of the long eighteenth century.

We invite proposals for papers and sessions dealing with any aspect of the long eighteenth century, not only in Britain, but also throughout Europe, North America, and the wider world. Proposals are invited for fully comprised panels of three or four papers, for roundtable sessions of up to five speakers, for individual papers, and for ‘alternative format’ sessions of your devising.

While proposals on all and any eighteenth-century topics are very welcome, this year the conference theme will be Emotions. We would thus particularly welcome proposals for panels and papers that address eighteenth-century understandings, and consequences, of the emotions, broadly conceived, and the role of the passions, feelings, and sentiment throughout the long eighteenth century, at all levels of society, and in any part of the world. These might include, but will not be confined to: the meanings and significance given to the emotions and feelings of all kinds, from affection to xenophobia, including fear, hatred, love and sensibility, and in all fields from history, politics and religion, to the arts, literature, and philosophy; gender and the emotions; ‘affect’; the relationship between reason, thought and feeling; and controlling emotions.

Enquiries

All enquiries regarding the academic programme of the conference should be addressed to the academic programme co-ordinator, Dr Jeremy Gregory academic@bsecs.org.uk.

To submit a proposal, please visit our website at www.bsecs.org.uk

The deadline for submission of papers and panel proposals is Thursday 30th September 2010. You will be notified whether your proposal has been accepted by Sunday 31st October 2010. If you are travelling from outside the UK and need an earlier decision, please mention this in your proposal and we shall endeavour to reach a decision earlier in order to facilitate your travel arrangements.

Appel à communications : “Passionate Minds Knowledge and the Emotions in Intellectual History”

11th International Society for Intellectual History Conference University of Bucharest Romania

26-28 May 2011

Passionate Minds

Knowledge and the Emotions in Intellectual History

The centrality of the emotions in all areas of human thought, action and expression has lately begun to be recognized and investigated with increasing interest within a variety of disciplines, from cognitive science and the philosophy of emotions to literary and anthropological studies. One central insight of such explorations is that the view of the separation and even opposition between cognition and affectivity is an unjust representation of the complexity of the life of both individuals and communities. Intellectual historians have also become sensitive to the issue and are in fact in a privileged position to bring to the fore the variety and richness of the approaches to the interplay of knowledge and the emotions in the history of thought.

This conference aims to address the topic of the interplay of emotions and cognition as it bears on historical views of epistemology, logic, psychology, theology, medicine, moral philosophy or aesthetics, on approaches to education and the transmission of knowledge, as well as on the dynamics of intellectual communities. We invite panels and individual papers that address any aspect of this theme with reference to any historical period, as well as relevant methodological and historiographic questions. There will also be general sessions devoted to other proposed intellectual historical topics.

Please send your panel proposals by 15 November 2010 and your paper abstracts by 15 December 2010 to the conference organizers: Dana Jalobeanu, dana.jalobeanu@celfis.ro and Sorana Corneanu, soranamihaela.corneanu@g.unibuc.ro.

Participation fee: 90 EUR for faculty and 60 EUR for students and unemployed members.

CALL FOR PAPERS: Poetry and Melancholia, University of Stirling, 8-10 July 2011

CALL FOR PAPERS

Poetry and Melancholia, University of Stirling, 8-10 July 2011

Source : Dr Kyriaki Hadjiafxendi

Keynote speakers: Catherine Maxwell (Queen Mary, University of London), Don Paterson (Poet), and Susan J. Wolfson (Princeton University). Other speakers include John Drakakis (Stirling University), Lorna Hutson (University of St Andrews), Ron Levao (Rutgers University), Cornelia D. J. Pearsall (Smith College) and David G. Riede (Ohio State University)

This interdisciplinary conference seeks to explore the nature and representation of melancholia within poetry and its relationship to poetics and poetic creation from the Renaissance to the present. Drawing together contributors from Art History, Literature, Medical Humanities, Philosophy, and Print Media, Poetry and Melancholia will try to examine the variety of forms that melancholia has historically taken and extend its meaning beyond the social, medical and epistemological norms that had framed it as a sign of mental illness or a way of behaving to that of a cultural idea. We aim to define not only the different configurations and significance of melancholia as mood, feeling, state of mind, and a cultural outlook but also the role that modernity has played in its development from a medical discourse to a dispositional perspective. The Stirling International Poetry Conference has always been an event that both welcomes and supports practising poets, and this year working poets are especially welcome to participate by giving readings of their work and engaging in the subject debates around melancholia and poetry.

Themes:

Aesthetics: the sublime, art and longing, decadence, narcissism and loss, revelations of destruction, degeneration, eroticism, melancholy genius, nostalgia, spleen, the states of boredom
Affect: sensibility, solitude and alienation, despair, grief, suffering and sadness, distorted senses, mood as language, psychology, transference, the workings of sympathy, haunting and return
Biomedical sciences: clinical depression, malady, delirium, humors, mental derangement, physiology and pathologies of the mind, psychoanalytic workings of mourning, somatic conditions

Nature, Space, and Landscape: landscape and distance, the resistance of physical objects, conflicts with nature, interior distance and phenomenology
Poetics: creativity, idleness and labour, imagination, inspiration and delirium, the politics of form and genre (allegory, elegy, lyric, and pastoral, etc.), poetry’s relation to the visual and plastic arts
Tradition and History: appropriations of classical theories of melancholia, the idea of tainted inheritance, the traditions of witchcraft and the demonic, the past as loss, writing and memory
Sociology: alienation, anomalies of self-consciousness and the will, fragmentation and conflicts of modernity, otherness, gender, class, race, sexuality, social role of the poet, suicide
Please submit 300 word abstracts for 20 minute papers or proposals for panels together with a short biographical note or CV to Kyriaki Hadjiafxendi and David Miller at poetryandmelancholia@stir.ac.uk by no later than 15 January 2011.

The Society for the Social History of Medicine offers three bursaries (£150 each) for postgraduate historians of medicine who have been accepted to give a paper as part of the conference.

Call for Papers: Desire and Dante in the Middle Ages

University of Oxford, 22-24 April 2010

Concept and Organization: Manuele Gragnolati (Somerville College, Oxford) and Elena Lombardi (Bristol); with the support of the Paget Toynbee Fund, University of Oxford, and Somerville College, Oxford

Assistance: Tristan Kay (The Queen’s College, Oxford)

Keynote speakers: Bill Burgwinkle (King’s College, Cambridge) and Christian Moevs (Notre Dame)

Dante’s Divine Comedy has been appropriately called “the poem of desire”, not only because it features desire as the fundamental trait d’union between the self and God, but also because it covers the whole semantic area of this very large concept and its implications. Although rooted in the sensual (if not erotic) love for a woman, it also encompasses the theme of rational desire for knowledge, and combines the two in the spiritual drive towards the divine and the transcendental. Thus, Dante’s magnum opus explores the multiple tensions through which the notion of desire has been articulated and discussed in the diverse cultural fields since antiquity and throughout the Middle Ages – tensions which still reverberate in modern theories. Desire in Dante’s work questions the tension between lack and fulfillment, absence and presence, and earthly and divine love, with which Western culture had long engaged and would continue to do so.

Dante’s formulation of desire in the Comedy is the result of his long meditation on this concept in his other works (Vita NuovaRimeConvivioDe vulgari eloquentiaMonarchia), as well as his reception of many other discourses of desire in the Christian Middle Ages. Indeed, from courtly literature to theology, from medicine to mysticism, from spirituality and devotional practices to political theory, the question of desire is central to medieval culture, matching, and occasionally surpassing, our contemporary “obsession” with it. Whilst in each of these fields desire has a specific significance and its own terminology, it also transcends the borders of these single disciplines and is a truly inter-discursive feature of medieval culture. Although often in service of normative relations (such as the relation between matter and form, lover and beloved, soul and God), desire can also be subversive, endowed with a protean nature and transformative powers.

This conference takes Dante’s multifaceted discourse of desire as an occasion to investigate medieval concepts of desire in their multiplicity, fragmentation, and interrelation. We therefore invite papers engaging with notions of desire in Dante and/or other authors, contexts, and discourses. We particularly welcome papers that, in addition to close readings of their chosen texts, explicitly address and theorize how desire operates within them. Possible topics include:

I- desire as a bridge between the human and the divine or between soul and body

II- desire in relation to eroticism, sensuality, sexuality

III- desire in relation cosmology and the sciences

IV- desire in relation to knowledge and power

V- desire in courtly literature, medieval Aristotelianism, medicine, mysticism,    and political theory

VI- desire in relation to memory, loss, or death

VII- desire between lack and fulfillment, excess and control, suffering and joy

VIII- desire negotiating between the sacred and the earthly/profane

IX- desire in relation to language, poetry, textuality

IX- medieval vs. modern concepts of desire

Papers will be limited to 30 minutes.

Please email an abstract of maximum 500 words and a short bio-bibliographical profile (no more than 1 page) to manuele.gragnolati@some.ox.ac.uk and elena.lombardi@bristol.ac.uk by 15 October 2009.

An answer will be given by the end of November 2009.

We invite papers that interrogate emotion, society and space from
diverse disciplinary and multidisciplinary backgrounds. We are
interested in specific case studies as well as theoretical
examinations of the nature of connections among these terms. The
conference will be an exciting place to think about new ways of
studying the natures, cultures and histories of emotional life. We
welcome individual papers as well as panel proposals. We are happy to
receive papers that engage in experimental as well as traditional
formats.

Possible topics include:
â- Embodiment and emotions;
â- Dynamics of affect;
â- Affective attachment and the other-than-human
â- Emotional labour and management;
â- Affective spaces and the transnational;
â- Migration, postcolonialism and emotions;

One special theme of the conference is Consuming and Producing
Affective Spaces of Taste. Focusing on the relations of production and
consumption we want to examine how spaces of tastes are being
refigured within the cultural economics of transglobalisation. We are
especially interested in specific studies of the changing geographies
of food, tourism, and other material commodities, as well as more
general theoretical investigations of the connections between
production, consumption, emotions and space.
The conference organizers welcome proposals for further special themes.

Le marketing des émotions

Le Sensolier est une association réunissant des chercheurs et des acteurs du monde industriel qui se penchent sur la “sensorialité” à fin d’enquête sur les ressentis des consommateurs.

Symptôme de l’intégration des sciences de l’émotion désormais dans le champ, ô combien légitimant, de l’expertise, le Sensolier lance un appel à contribution sur Calenda pour une journée thématique intitulée : “Émotions, sentiments, humeurs… du rôle de l’affectif dans la sensorialité ?” (15 octobre 2009)

Extrait de l’argumentaire:

“L’objectif de la journée est de rassembler, et donc confronter, des points de vue diversifiés sur cette question : approches théoriques ou méthodologiques, résultats d’études, afin d’enrichir les réflexions et les pratiques de chacun. Nous souhaitons questionner ces concepts (émotions, sentiments, humeurs, plaisir…) dans les différents champs scientifiques où ils sont travaillés, leurs définitions, les relations qu’ils entretiennent et leurs conséquences dans les études sensorielles.

Dans l’esprit du Sensolier, valorisant l’échange pluridisciplinaire, cette journée pourra associer physiologistes, cliniciens, anthropologues, sociologues, psychologues, linguistes… et praticiens ou chercheurs en évaluation sensorielle et études consommateurs et marketing autour du thème.”

Demain, l’histoire des émotions aux portes de l’expertise marketing? Qui l’eut cru?

Emotion Review

Une nouvelle revue consacrée aux émotions va voir le jour en 2009, son titre : Emotion Review. La revue est en lien avec l’ISRE et annonce une approche multidisciplinaire, donc incluant l’histoire de l’émotion. A noter également qu’elle sera en consultation libre sur le net jusqu’en 2011. Ci-dessous la présentation ; pour plus de renseignements (appels à contribution, abonnement, etc.) : cliquez ici.

Emotion Review is a new fully peer reviewed scholarly journal published by SAGE Publications in association with the International Society for Research on Emotion (ISRE) from 2009.

Its unique aim will be to publish a combination of theoretical, conceptual, and review papers – often with commentaries – to enhance debate about critical issues in emotion theory and research. Emotion Review will publish work across a wide interdisciplinary field of research that traverses many disciplines. In this respect, the journal will be open to publishing work in anthropology, biology, computer science, economics, history, humanities, linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy, physiology, political science, psychiatry, psychology, sociology, and in other areas where emotion research is active.

Collecte bibliographique

EMMA entreprend de constituer une base de données bibliographiques sur l’histoire médiévale des émotions et de la vie affective (Occident latin, Byzance) qui sera mise en ligne dans les prochains mois.

Cette mission est actuellement confiée à Benoit Martel, étudiant de second cycle à l’UQAM, sous la direction de Piroska Nagy. Dans un premier temps, les investigations seront conduites à partir de mots-clés (en français, anglais, allemand, italien et espagnol) sur les grands sites de ressources (reti medievali, regesta imperii, International Medieval Bibliography, Medioevo latino, Jstor, Ménestrel, etc.) et les catalogues en ligne (Bibliothèque interuniversitaire de la Sorbonne, Bibliothèque universitaire de Poitiers, Bibliothèque de la Casa de Velázquez, Sudoc, Library of Congress Online Catalogue, Worldcat, etc.) et complétées au moyen des bibliographies de monographies.

Dans cette perspective, nous lançons un appel auprès de tous les chercheurs pour alimenter cette bibliographie sur l’histoire de l’affectivité médiévale : si vous avez connaissance de références difficilement repérables avec nos critères d’interrogation, très récentes voire en cours de publication, n’hésitez pas à les transmettre à benoit.martel2@hotmail.com

Nos critères de sélection durant cette phase de collecte sont volontairement très larges ; donc, dans le doute, ne vous abstenez pas de nous faire part de vos trouvailles !

Cet appel a bien entendu un caractère permanent, vous pouvez donc aussi abonder la bibliographie en postant un « commentaire » à ce billet.
