The 2008 Ralph and Ruth Fisher Forum will be held at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, June 19-21, on the topic of “interpreting emotion in eastern Europe, Russia, and Eurasia.” This conference will be a multidisciplinary exploration of emotion and its cultural representations in eastern Europe, Russia, and Eurasia from the 19th century to the present, especially in public life, as well as a critical consideration of how we approach the study of emotion. Only relatively recently have scholars begun to study systematically and deeply emotional perception and expression as not merely “private” inward feeling but as ways of interpreting and judging the external world and acting in it. We are seeking proposals for papers that explore both questions of method and particular histories, ethnographies, and cultural expressions of emotion. Topics that might be examined, for example, include emotions and political culture, emotions and gender, emotions and the body, emotions and the public sphere, and individual emotions such as love, anger, shame, and melancholy. Historians, literary scholars, art historians, anthropologists, sociologists, musicologists, psychologists and other disciplines are encouraged to propose papers. Please send proposals for papers (maximum 1 page) and a brief CV to Mark Steinberg at steinb@uiuc.edu and Valeria Sobol at vsobol@uiuc.edu by May 31, 2007 (you may also contact us with questions). Subject to funding, we expect to be able to cover participants’ expenses for travel and lodging.
