Study of the emotions has been a recurrent theme across social and cultural
history, within cultural and literary studies, in memory studies and
throughout a wide range of disciplines in the arts and humanities in recent
years. This 'emotional turn' has demanded the development of new
methodologies and of nuanced approaches to source material and to
articulation of emotion. Research by Doctoral students, early career
researchers and Masters students has been at the forefront of this new body
of work. Following our successful conferences in 2009 and 2010 we would
once again like to invite post-graduates across the disciplines to meet and
discuss their work in this field.

Areas of research might include (but are not limited to):
•    Reading/Writing 'emotional histories'
•    Love, romance and courtship
•    Language, narrative and the emotions
•    Articulation, silence and memory
•    Trauma, silence and memory
•    Archival and methodological approaches to the emotions

If you are interested in participating, please contact Nicola Clewer: nc95@brighton.ac.uk

There is a small fee of £25 for attending the conference. Refreshments and
lunch will be provided.
