  Sensibilities at the turn of the 21st century

  Characteristic of the the first sixteen years of the 21^st Century has been the the emphasis that structuration processes have placed on the connections between emotions, bodies, and society as some of their central axes. At least since the end of the last century, the production, circulation, management, and reproduction of feeling practices have become some of the basic features of education, health care, knowledge production, the mass media, the entertainment industry, sexuality, politics, and the market - just to mention some of the most publicly “visible” ones. It is in this context that  we have considered it desirable to bring together researchers and academics dealing with various aspects relating to the topic of sensibilities.

  IV congreso internacional de mitocrítica

  Mito y emociones

  Junto a la lógica racional existe una lógica emocional, responsable última de muchas acciones que realizamos. La mitocrítica suele abordar los relatos míticos desde una perspectiva estructural, social, histórica, etc. Sin embargo, a menudo ignora el componente emocional. Parece como si la dimensión afectiva, particularmente activa en nuestra sociedad contemporánea, no fuera pertinente en los estudios de mitología. El congreso investigará el papel que desempeñan las emociones tanto en la estructuración de los relatos míticos como en los procesos de mitificación de personajes y acontecimientos históricos. El marco de trabajo son los mitos antiguos, medievales y modernos en la literatura y las artes contemporáneas (desde 1900).

  Staging American Bodies

  For this seventh International Symposium on Staging America, we invite scholars to explore the various ways in which American bodies have been staged and represented throughout history and through various media. From P.T. Barnum’s freak shows to modern-day tattoo conventions, from Carson McCullers’ and Flannery O’Connor’s grotesque characters to twenty-first century sideshows, bodies have always been a source of both attraction and repulsion. The fascination triggered by deformities – whether natural or self-inflicted – reveals as much about Americans’ conceptions of normality, hence of identity, as it does about the nature of the body itself.
