This call for papers seeks proposals that will contribute to the interdisciplinary exploration of the Victorian sensorium. The rise of sensory studies and recent scholarly attention to Victorian soundscapes, scents, visual culture and even 'filth' have demonstrated the rich possibilities that this topic may present.
Topics could include (but are not limited to):
- sentiment/ sensibility / sensation
- sensation fiction
- scientific or philosophical explorations of the senses & emotions
- mesmerism / spiritualism
- sexuality / passion / affections, and/or the gendering of feelings
- the body in pain, illness, hysteria
- Victorian pleasures
- the senses and space
- 'affective communities' and/or the politics of feeling
- empires of the senses
- sensing the 'other'.
Please email proposals (maximum 300 words) for papers of 20-minute duration to Dr Wendy Parkins (wendy.parkins@stonebow.otago.ac.nz) and include your institutional details (if any). The deadline for submission of proposals is October 31, 2008.
