Historicizing Emotions: XXII Congress CISH/ICHS, 2015 – Call For Papers

“Historicizing Emotions” Major Theme Day
XXII Congress of CISH/ICHS The International Committee of Historical Sciences
Jinan, China
23-29 August, 2015

The ARC Centre for the History of Emotions, and the History of Emotions group at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, (headed by Professor Ute Frevert) have co-operated to organise one of the four Major Themes for the next World Conference of the Comité Internationale des Sciences Historiques (International Committee of the Historical Sciences), to be held in Jinan, China, 23-29 August 2015.

This means that our two groups will be hosting a whole day’s sessions—four panels–particularly on the theme ‘Historicizing Emotions’. Each panel will, we envisage, have three papers-givers, plus a discussant to open up questions and debate. We will accept paper proposals covering any period of history in the last millennium, and will particularly welcome papers that enable well-focused discussion between the different perspectives of Western and non-Western histories of emotion, without privileging one over the other!

The Call for Papers is now open on the CISH/ICHS website and the plan for the the Major Theme ‘Historicizing Emotions’ can be downloaded here.

Proposals should be:

  • A maximum of 2500 characters – 350 words
  • Accompanied by a short biographical note
  • Sent to the two organisers (Ute Frevert and Philippa Maddern) AND to the CISH Secretary General Robert Frank (click here to email to all three simultaneously) by 30 November 2013.
