Emotion and Identity Workshop in Düsseldorf

Miriam Edlich-Muth and Lucie Kaempfer – who both attended our project’s first workshop in Utrecht – are organising an exciting and excellent-looking workshop, entitled ‘Modelling Emotion/Modelling Identity in Late Medieval Literature’. The event is hosted by the Department of Medieval English Literature and Historical Linguistics at HHU Düsseldorf, Germany, on the 6th of September (they hope in person!). The workshop will take the form of a roundtable discussion, focused on primary text extracts submitted by participants, and it will question how the literary expression and depiction of emotion replicates or calls into question fixed categories of social identity: class, age, gender, religion, place, (dis)ability, and sexuality.
