Two days well spent! Thank you to @mboluferp.bsky.social, Mónica Burguera and Carlotta Sorba for putting together such a wonderful program. It was a pleasure to explore the history of emotions through the lens of letters and see so many common threads in the participants’ projects.
Two intense days of discussions on Letters and the Politics of Emotion ended yesterday in a convivial atmosphere.
Thanks to my co-organisers Carlotta Sorba-Mónica Burguera, to Francesca Parenti, our guests, discussants & participants.
