Work on the cultural and historical dimensions of emotion in recent decades has argued that all emotions are, to an extent, socially constructed experiences: think of Sara Ahmed’s conceptualisation of the way emotions ‘stick’ to objects in a social context, for example, William Reddy’s theory of normative emotional regimes, or Monique Scheer’s work on emotions as socially learnt practices. In this perspective, to talk about social emotions as a subcategory of emotion might seem tautological, redundant.
Proposals are invited for an international conference to be held at the University of Oxford, on 7-8 July 2018, on Women Writing Decadence: European Perspectives, 1880-1920. The deadline for abstracts is 10 January 2018.
