Shakespeare and Early Modern Emotion
An International and Interdisciplinary Conference
29 June – 1 July 2011
The Andrew Marvell Centre, The University of Hull
This conference will explore the performance and representation of emotion in the work of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. In the last decade, scholars have been increasingly interested in the cultural history of emotions, arguing that they should be regarded as ‘social phenomena’ rather than inward experiences. At the same time, we have seen a resurgence of interest in the ethical and philosophical aspects of literary texts, and a return to thinking about ideas of ‘human nature’.
How did Shakespeare and his contemporaries respond to and/or shape early modern conceptions of emotion? How do early modern plays and poems speak to current debates about emotion, culture, and what it is to be human? Do early modern texts suggest that emotions are bound up with language and culture, or can we make a case for emotions as a transhistorical or even ‘universal’ category?
Confirmed keynote speakers are:
Prof. Neil Rhodes (St Andrews)
Dr Andy Mousley (De Montfort)
Dr John Lee (Bristol)
The deadline for submission of papers has now closed. For further information please contact Dr Richard Meek r.meek@hull.ac.uk

New Network: Southern Early Modern and Medieval Postgraduate Network (SPEM)
CALL FOR PAPERS: LAUNCH OF NETWORK
The Southern Early Modern and Medieval Postgraduate Network (SPEM) is a new pan-institutional group based in the South of England. It aims to provide a forum for postgraduate students to discuss their research with their peers, to facilitate the exchange of ideas and to provide practical help and advice from established academics. Events will be held featuring a mixture of papers by researchers, workshops and discussions led by established academics and other experts.
To that end, SPEM will be holding a one day conference at the University of Chichester on June 23rd 2011. This event will feature papers by postgraduate students working in the medieval and early modern periods, and presentations on the topics of publication and non-academic careers for the postgraduate researcher. Professor Andrew Hadfield (University of Sussex, editor Renaissance Studies) will discuss the process of publication.
We are accepting proposals for papers on any area of research in the medieval and early modern periods. The conference is open to all; the presentations on publication and careers will be general rather than specific to the medieval and early modern periods.
Papers should be 20 minutes long. For further information or to send abstracts (250 max), please email p.quinn@chi.ac.uk or c.a.parsons@sussex.ac.uk by May 31st 2011.
