Emotions drive individual actions and effect broader social change. The way they are felt, expressed and performed evolves over time, and in exploring the way these emotions were experienced in their historical context, we can both gain a better understanding of how past societies understood their experience, and how this has influenced the way we experience emotions today...We are particularly interested in submissions which engage with the growing field of the digital humanities, and are happy to work with authors to accommodate any requirements involving multimedia or alternative formatting. We also encourage submissions from authors working on emotions in performance and material culture. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by qualified experts in the field.
- When? March 13-15, 2014
- Where? George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia
- Deadline: September 30, 2013

Often regarded by scholars as one of the major turning points in the United States Civil War, the Battle of Gettysburg has attained an iconic status in American literature and culture. This panel will address the question of what actually happened at Gettysburg and how those events were reshaped over time to create distinct ‘legacies’ of that battle and the war of which it was a part. Questions to consider include but aren't limited to: How is race addressed (or not) in portrayals of the battle? What role do civilians play in representations of the battle? Is battlefield heroism portrayed in a straightforward or ironic light? Does a particular narrative of the battle seem to say more about its own times than the Civil War era? Film scholars are encouraged to submit proposals for this panel. Papers that examine the civilian experience of the battle are also sought.
- When? April 3-5, 2014
- Where? Oxford, England
- Deadline: October 21, 2013 (possible second deadline 1.20.2014)

Individual paper proposals and proposals that are part of a session must relate to the above theme in order to be considered for publication.
