CRPL Workshop: Modernism and the Emotions
UNIVERSITY OF WARWICK
CENTRE FOR RESEARCH IN PHILOSOPHY & LITERATURE
MODERNISM AND THE EMOTIONS
JUNE 1, 2007
In recent years there has been a surge of philosophical interest in the emotions. Modernist literature often thematizes them at a level of specificity and conceptual sophistication that makes it potentially fruitful for a philosophical understanding of affectivity. The aim of this workshop is to initiate an interdisciplinary approach that brings literary and philosophical analysis into focused debate.
