After a brief introduction to terminology, each of the five of us will talk for ~10 minutes on our disciplinary tools for studying “emotion,” “feeling,” or “affect” [not the same things]. There will be theoretical aspects, specific examples, a Powerpoint, and other interesting items.
Then we will invite you to offer your thoughts on the role of these objects of inquiry in your home disciplines or in other disciplines. This is meant to be an open dialogue for all fellows about broad questions of methodology and not about our specific projects [including limits to studying these topics].
