> CALL FOR PAPERS
> PANEL: HEALTH AND EMOTIONS, AN INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH
> [Health Network]
>
> The study of emotions has been a silenced topic that has only recently
> begun to be developed by the humanities and the social sciences.
> However,
> emotions are a fundamental aspect of human suffering as much as
> welfare
> and health. Although it is difficult to fully understand the complex
> reasons for this lack of interest on the topic, it can be
> conjectured that
> emotions are still a resilient locus of naturalisation.
> This panel will welcome any paper contributing to the analysis of the
> historicity of emotions and especially the contributions of
> technosciences
> and medical knowledge. It will particularly welcome:
> - papers focusing on different cultural ‘knowledges’ that produce a
> self
> perception of the emotional being
> - papers exploring the interface between popular culture and
> culture of
> expertise
> - papers analyzing the role played by the medicine of emotions in
> defining
> boundaries between the masculine/feminine and its debate and
> contestation
> - papers exploring the historical changes of what are considered
> “normal
> emotions” by biomedicine
> - papers exploring the contribution of medicines in different cultural
> contexts and its role in producing differences in emotions
>
> The deadline to submit proposals is the 28th of March. Please those
> of you
> interested in contributing to the panel, please send me your abstracts
> before that date ([log in to unmask]).
