Baroque to Neo-Baroque: Emotion and the Seduction of the Senses
ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions Conference
Theatre A, Old Arts, The University of Melbourne (27&28 Nov.)
Clemenger Theatre, National Gallery of Victoria International, 180 St Kilda Rd, Melbourne (29 Nov.)
27-29 November, 2013

Both the historical baroque and the neo-baroque are increasingly serious areas of global intellectual enquiry. This conference contributes to a fuller picture of the relationship between the two phenomena and, in particular, explores the engagement of emotion in the cultural productions of the baroque and the neo-baroque. Our own interest is in applying a new methodology to the study of baroque and neo-baroque cultures, one grounded in unique sensory and spatial approaches, and themes.  The conference is being organised by Professor Angela Ndalianis (The University of Melbourne); & Dr Lisa Beaven (La Trobe University).

The conference and keynote lectures are free, but we recommend that you register online. You can also register on the day at the conference.
