Performing Affect
Renaissance Drama, an annual and interdisciplinary publication,
solicits essays for an issue which takes up the question of emotions and
the early modern stage. Engaging with recent critical attempts to
historicize emotion and to refine our conceptions of early modern
subjectivity, submissions might address, but are not limited to, the
following questions: What is the relationship between the body and the
passions? How does performance, in its different sites and incarnations,
operate as a space of fantasy? What is the relation of catharsis to
embodiment in the early modern period? How might dramatic moments of
excessive affect be interpreted in cultural and political terms? How were
certain emotions described or circumscribed within peculiarly early modern
formations? What is the relationship between sensations, rationality, and
other ways of knowing? What are the particular performance practices
surrounding emotions and the passions? Submissions for this special issue
are due by Oct. 15, 2000.
Please send all submissions and inquiries to:
