SIEF Working Group: BASE (Bodies, Affects, Senses and Emotions)
Kerstin Pfeiffer
(Heriot-Watt University)
Poster short abstract:
The poster provides an overview of the working group and what it does.
Poster long abstract:
The BASE Working Group draws together researchers from across the Arts and Humanities who are interested in the felt dimensions of social life.
The working group members hail from multiple disciplines including anthropology, ethnology, folklore, theatre and performance studies, and geography. What we share is an interest in the situated practice that characterises everyday life - how bodies are conditioned, affects appear and the senses are tuned, often in a particular material environment, and/or emotional norms, the body as a symbol or a metaphor, and newly arising issues of being and becoming, bodily experiences and potentialities.
We consider the study of the body, affects, senses, and emotions open to various theoretical and epistemological approaches and thus welcome inspiration from and collaboration with neighbouring disciplines
