Dear all,
I would like to announce the following on behalf of the students of the
Research Master in Classical, Medieval and Early Modern Studies of the
University of Groningen:
--
Students of the Research Master Classical, Medieval and Early Modern
Studies (CMEMS) of the University of Groningen kindly invite you to the
annual CMEMS conference, where we will present papers on:
*'Facets of Feeling: The Theory of Needs in the History of Emotion'*
This year on we will explore the history of emotional suffering by moving
beyond the traditional history of emotions, most commonly studied through
the lenses of emotionology and emotives. We are also delighted to announce
dr.* Erika Kuijpers* (VU Amsterdam) as keynote speaker of the conference.
Building on the connection between the Theory of Needs and emotional
suffering as set out by Ljiljiana Radenović and Il Akkad in the 2022
article *‘History of Emotional Suffering: From Emotions to Needs in the
History of Emotions’,* we will explore the theoretical and methodological
values of this concept for the study of premodern history. During this
multidisciplinary conference, student speakers with various expertises will
analyze the universality of emotions and apply the theory to relevant
historical case studies, particularly with regard to analyzing the
interplay proposed between society and emotional experiences, and putting
the theory in contrast with existing approaches to the history of
emotionality.
The conference will take place on *Thursday 8th *and *Friday 9th June 2023*
at the University of Groningen as well as online. It is possible to attend
both days or individual parts of each day. Admission is free of charge.
Interested? For registration and detailed information about the speakers,
topics, and programme please visit the conference website,
https://cmems2023.nl. We offer students the opportunity to obtain 1 ECTS
from attending the conference. More information regarding the conditions
can also be found on our website. Follow our social media channels for
regular updates.

Kind regards,
The CMEMS Conference Organization 2023
