Questions for the Webinar:
1. What are emotions? Does adopting a current definition work, for example, one derived from psychology or neuroscience? If not, what does?
2. How can we account for the rise of interest in the history of emotions?
3. What are the ways in which a historian can “get at” emotions? Are notions like “emotional regimes, emotional communities, and emotional societies” useful?
4. Do the emotions of particular individuals fit into the history of emotions? If so, why? If not, why not?
5. How can a history of emotions contribute to our knowledge of history ? For example, how are emotions involved in historical change?
