italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Dear Penny
Unfortunately I can't print off your form as I have on-going problems with both my printers and I'm an off-campus student! Could you please accept my details as below and than I could send the cheque for £25 to IGRS with an explanatory note?
My name is Pam Krist, member of ASMI, e-mail address as above and I'm an MPhil/PhD student in the Dept of Italian, RHUL. No food, thanks. I try not to put my home address on the internet whenever possible if that is alright with you.
Best wishes,
Pam Krist

> Annual Conference 2009
>
> ITALY AND THE EMOTIONS
> PERSPECTIVES FROM THE 18^TH CENTURY TO THE PRESENT
>
> Institute for Germanic and Romance Studies, University of London
> 27-28 November 2009

> Keynote speakers: Professor Alberto Mario Banti (University of Pisa)
> Professor Luisa Passerini (University of Turin)
> Special guest: Natalia Aspesi, journalist, /La Repubblica/
>
> Starting from the premise that emotions are historically and culturally
> conditioned, this conference focuses on emotions in historical
> perspective in Italy – an area whose modes of social interaction and
> cultural production have long had an influential role in shaping ideas
> about emotions well beyond its own geographical borders. Among the
> themes examined by over 65 speakers will be
>
> * Emotions, politics and public life
> * The emotions of war, colonial conquest, victory and defeat
> * Emotion in Italian art, music, literature and cinema
> * Fascism as a politics of emotion
> * The gendering of emotions
> * Religion and the emotional imagination
> * Italy’s international influence on concepts of emotion
>
> The conference is the first of its kind, and as the range of themes
> suggests, it offers valuable potential for interdisciplinary exchange.
> The keynote speakers are internationally pioneering scholars whose work
> on the emotions has led the way in re-thinking major areas of research
> such as politics and war. As well as bringing together established
> scholars from Europe, the USA, and Australasia, the conference also
> provides a forum for younger researchers to contribute to an approach
> that places emotions at the forefront of humanities research rather than
> seeing them as a by-product of other historical processes.
>
> As the whole western world is increasingly forced to re-evaluate its
> unsustainable addiction to consumption as the basis of happiness, this
> focus on human emotions in historical perspective is particularly
> timely. The conference therefore aims not only to develop new ways of
> approaching research in its own subject areas, but also to contribute to
> a broader process of reflection about the trajectories – past, present
> and future – of western society.
