Duration
19 Apr 2010 - 25 Apr 2010
The course, which is entering its fourteenth year in 2010, is a seven-day, interdisciplinary workshop that combines conference-oriented presentation of scholarly research with an intensive and rigorous academic program for graduate and advanced undergraduate students. In addition, the course offers personal inter-cultural experience of students and faculty from other contexts in the unforgettable setting of a city that was itself the target of a destructive societal conflict.

Social phenomena such as divisions, conflicts and wars produce extreme emotions and emotional dispositions such as rage, hatred, extreme sadness and hopelesness but also love and solidarity, yet scholarship on such questions often remains confined to subdisciplines within psychology. This course attempts to expand beyond those limited spaces to explore the ways in which power, status, social positions, social conflicts not only produce emotions but are also composed and sustained with the help of emotions. This is why we shall seek the answers to the following questions:
• In what way are emotions connected to or constituting structures?
• How are emotions used to build and sustain divisions?
• How do the structures frame interaction, exchange and direct emotions in divided societies?
