Mapping Emotions: Affective Dimensions of Italian Life
April 23–24, 2027
Emotions are integral to the ways individuals and communities construct meaning, memory, and belonging. In recent years, the study of emotions has gained attention across the humanities and social sciences as new avenues emerge for understanding the complex intersections of affect with migration, history, and identity. We seek papers that consider emotions not solely as private or purely psychological states, but as cultural and historical forces embedded in social structures, political movements, artistic expressions, and everyday practices.
Deadline for submissions: September 15, 2025.
Registration fee: Upon acceptance of your abstract, you will be requested to pay the nonrefundable registration fee of $75.
Nota bene: There are no available funds for travel, accommodation, or meals.
