Announcement Calenda 1 403 227 (extracts)

As part of the international symposium "Emotions and Politics in the Americas", to be held in Nantes on November 26 and 27, 2026, the organizing committee is accepting proposals for papers.

This symposium is based on a simple working hypothesis: the American continent, whose history is punctuated by experiences of colonization, slavery, revolutions, state violence and popular mobilization, is a particularly fertile terrain for analyzing how these "emotional regimes (or communities)" are formed, and how emotions structure relationships to power.
