Politics & Emotions

International Conference 16-18 April 2004

University of the West of England, Bristol, UK


The Centre for Critical Theory (CCT), the Centre for Psycho-Social Studies
(CPSS) and the School of Politics at UWE announce a major conference on
Politics and Emotions. This international interdisciplinary conference will
explore both the emotions involved in politics and the politics of the
emotions themselves

The plenary speakers include

Elisabeth Young-Bruehl, author of two award-winning biographies, Hannah
Arendt: For Love of the World (1982) and Anna Freud: A Biography (1988), is
a psychoanalyst in private practice in New York City. She has authored many
other works including the acclaimed The Anatomy of Prejudices (1996).

Jack Barbalet is a leading researcher and theorist of the social and
political significance of emotions. He has published extensively on this theme,
including the pathbreaking Emotions, Social Theory and Social Structure: A
Macrosociological Approach (1998). He is currently Professor of Sociology at
the University of Leicester, where he is Head of Department.

James M. Jasper is an independent scholar living in New York City. He has
taught at Berkeley, Columbia, Princeton, and New York University. His works
on politics and emotions include The Art of Moral Protest (1997) and the
co-edited volume, Passionate Politics (2001)

Susan James is Professor of Philosophy at Birkbeck College, University of
London. Her areas of research are early modern philosophy, political
philosophy and feminist philosophy. Her recent publications include Passion
and Action: The Emotions in Seventeenth-Century Philosophy (1999). Oneof her
current projects is an exploration of the place of the emotions in political
philosophy.
