Emotions

Nearly a year ago before setting off to Shanghai and then Edinburgh in May and June respectively, I made a list of papers, not too long I think, to read after the summer.

One of them is "Forum: History of Emotions," German History, Vol. 28, No. 1, 2010, pp. 67-80. The forum was formed by Frank Biess (University of California, San Diego), Alon Confino (University of Virginia), Ute Frevert (Max-Planck-Institut fur Bildungsforschung), Uffa Jensen (Universitat Gottingen), Lyndal Roper (Oxford University), and Daniela Saxer (Universitat Zurich/ETH Zurich).

from cultural turn to an "emotional turn" in cultural studies in light of massive increase in interest in emotions among historians, humanists, and natural scientists.
