Final Call For Papers
The Third Annual Memory, Narrative and Histories Postgraduate Conference
The Emotions in History, Memory and Storytelling
Third Annual Post-Graduate Conference Centre for Research in Memory,
Narrative and Histories, University of Brighton and Centre for Life
History and Life Writing Research, University of Sussex
June 29th, 2011 Falmer, University of Brighton, UK
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 send an abstract of no
more than 200 words to Nicola Clewer by 6th May 2011: [log in to unmask]
There is a small fee of £25 for attending the conference. Refreshments
and lunch will be provided.
