In this symposium, we explore the way in which emotions engendered and sustained violence in Europe from 1400 to 1800. We seek to explore the changing relationship of emotional language (textual, visual or material) to the experience, repression or conceptualisation of violence over this period.

Papers are invited from scholars interested in exploring affective articulation of violence as it can be explored in the textual, visual and material culture of that period. Proposals consisting of a title and 150 word abstract should be submitted by June 30, 2013.
