University of Warwick - Modernism and the Emotions
Kuzma, Joseph
CENTRE FOR RESEARCH IN PHILOSOPHY & LITERATURE
MODERNISM AND THE EMOTIONS
JUNE 1, 2007
In recent years there has been a surge of philosophical interest in the emotions. Modernist literature often thematizes them at a level of specificity and conceptual sophistication that makes it potentially fruitful for a philosophical understanding of affectivity. The aim of this workshop is to initiate an interdisciplinary approach that brings literary and philosophical analysis into focused debate.
Speakers:
Paul Davies (Sussex) - "Fictional Moods"
Eileen John (Warwick) - "Modernism, the Concrete Image, and Moral Imagination"
Sabine A. Doering (Hamburg) - "On Robert Musil's Concept of Gestalt: Cognitive Emotions and Cognitive Aesthetics"
Michael Bell (Warwick) - "Modernism and the Transformation of Sentiment: Some Questions"
Peter Poellner (Warwick) - "Concepts, Emotions, and World-Disclosure: Thoughts on Modernist Literature and Philosophy"
