CFP: Knowledge and the Emotions in Intellectual History

Paper and panel proposals are still being accepted for our 2011 conference, Passionate Minds: Knowledge and the Emotions in Intellectual History, which will take place at the University of Bucharest on 26–28 May 2011. The event will address the topic of the interplay of emotions and cognition as it bears on historical views of epistemology, logic, psychology, theology, medicine, moral philosophy or aesthetics, on approaches to education and the transmission of knowledge, as well as on the dynamics of intellectual communities. Panels and individual papers are invited that address any aspect of this theme with reference to any historical period, as well as relevant methodological and historiographic questions. There will also be general sessions devoted to other proposed intellectual historical topics. Please send panel proposals by 15 November 2010 and  paper abstracts by 15 December 2010 to the conference organizers, Dana Jalobeanu (dana.jalobeanu@celfis.ro) and Sorana Corneanu (soranamihaela.corneanu@g.unibuc.ro).
