Description

While Barbara Rosenwein’s work on what she has termed ‘emotional communities’ has shed much light on how emotional values can be shared within groups, less attention has been paid to how the circulation of texts can reflect or redefine the priorities of emotional communities across both time and space. This session’s papers will investigate the emotional consequences of how texts and artefacts move between and within communities.
