Annonce JE – Emotions, Climate, and the Environment – Sciences Po, 24 mai 2024
Chères et chers collègues,
Je suis heureux de vous annoncer la tenue de la journée d’étude suivante, le 24 mai au Centre d’histoire de Sciences Po.
*Emotions, Climate, and the Environment. Historical Perspectives (18th-21st centuries)*
*Émotions, climat et environnement. Perspectives historiques (18e-21e siècles)*
Workshop / Journée d’étude 24 May 2024, 9:00am-5:45pm – Centre d’histoire de Sciences Po, Paris
‘Solastalgia’, ‘eco-anxiety’, ‘eco-grief’: in the past two decades, neologisms have flourished to describe how climate change and human-induced environmental damages are giving birth to new emotional states. But the idea that climate can drive us mad or sad is not entirely new. By bringing together environmental history, medical history and the history of emotions, this workshop seeks to historicise our emotional relation to climate and the natural environment.
Bringing together scholars from Australia, France, Switzerland, the UK and the US, the workshop will try to map how our emotional perceptions of climate(s), weather and the environment evolved from the 18th to the 21st century, and how climatic and natural elements were related to emotions such as fear, anxiety, or pleasure in specific historical, social, and political contexts. It will offer the opportunity to study how emotions are shaped by personal experiences, collective representations, medical and lay knowledges. It will also allow to identify potential sources for an emotional history of the environment, such as private diaries, weather almanacs, medical treatises, and psychiatric archives.
*Le programme détaillé et le lien d’inscription sont à retrouver à cette adresse :* histecon.fr/emotions_climate_environment/index.html La journée se déroulera en français et en anglais. Il est possible d’y assister en présentiel ou en visioconférence. J’espère vous y retrouver nombreux !
