> The conference is broadly interested in the relationship between
> motion
> and emotions, especially in the social fields of tourism and travel.
> In
> the latter, bodies and matter are set in motion; people move through
> unfamiliar grounds and are exposed to exotic sensations, to the heat
> or
> cold of water, snow and sunshine, to odours, tastes, smells, colours,
> and forms that contrast with the aesthetics of their quotidian
> environments. Tourism and travel make them leave their secure spaces
> of
> the familiar and expose them, in secure doses, to the unfamiliar. They
> involve a somehow calculated transgression of the ordinary, a
> ritualised
> temporary liquefaction of moral and aesthetic rules that frame
> everyday
> life. Motion disturbs the order of those in movement and challenges
> them
> to discover the familiar in the unfamiliar, to reconstruct and
> reconsider normality through the encounter of the extraordinary. It
> challenges them to repossess their bodies, to rethink the fundament of
> their being, to reassess the separations that configure the natures
> and
> identities of their belonging.=20
