The spatial dimension of emotions and affect is currently attracting increased attention among historians employing a wide range of theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches. The main goal of this workshop is to bring together historians who focus on the multiple, mutually constitutive relations between spaces and affect/emotions in different historical contexts. Spatial formations such as classrooms, cityscapes, courts, battlefields, laboratories, churches, and homes can be seen as emotionalized through different embodied practices. Conversely, specific locations may simultaneously enfold and shape emotions...We would like to address questions such as: How have space, affect, and emotions interacted in different historical contexts? How and to what extent can such interactions be traced? How may historical inquiry help us understand spatial politics of emotion? We invite papers from scholars who approach these themes in different historical and geographical contexts.
