Mapping the Emotional Cityscape CfPSYMPOSIUMThe ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions, Europe 1100 - 1800 presents:CALL FOR PAPERSDate: Monday 18 September 2017Venue: TBA at The University of AdelaideEnquiries: Jade Riddle, email: jade.riddle@adelaide.edu.auSince Henri Lefebvre suggested that space is sociallyconstructed and constituted, cities have beenreclassified from static ‘maps’ for human activities toperformed spaces that draw together humanbehaviour, meaning, discourse, and materialconditions in their production. Cities are not simply abackground for movement, but a function of culturaland emotional practice. That cities are named, givenboundaries and called home – and in turn that citiesname, define and give identity to their inhabitants –has equally implicated emotion in their production, asa recent turn to emotional geographies and urbanemotions reminds us. This symposium seeks tocontribute to this burgeoning scholarship throughexploring the productive relationships betweenemotions and cityscapes across time and space.We are particularly interested in the relationshipbetween urban geographies, architectures, buildings,and materialities and emotion. How are neighbourhoodboundaries produced through and with emotion? Howdo emotional communities form and define themselvesthrough urban space? How does architecture and thephysical environment inform social relationships andbehaviours and vice versa? And how do the emotionalimaginings of urban environments impact on theirhistories, identities and communities? Moreover, whatare the implications of such emotional productions ofthe cityscape for relationships of power, identity andmore within them?We seek proposals for 20 minute papers, or panels ofthree papers, from any disciplines dealing with the cityand emotion. Interdisciplinary perspectives and ECR/PhD students are particularly welcome. Papers maywish to explore, but are not limited to:• Defining and locating emotional boundaries within thecity• Producing urban emotions in/through city texts, mapsand art• Performing the emotional ‘other’ in urban spaces• Emotions and street life• Emotional investment in urban space• Emotion and urban ideologies• Emotional urban communities• Mapping emotions on urban spaceConvened by Dr Katie Barclay and Jade Riddle, TheUniversity of Adelaide.We aim to submit a proposal for an edited collectionfrom proceedings.Deadlines• Call for papers: Thursday 1 June 2017• Notification of acceptance: Thursday 15 June 2017• Long abstracts for circulation: Friday 1 September 2017Abstracts of no more than 300 words, and a short bio, shouldbe emailed to Jade Riddle, jade.riddle@adelaide.edu.au.Mapping the Emotional Cityscape:Spaces , Performances and Emotion in Urban LifeArundel House, London ,1646.Wenceslaus HollarBritish Museum, Wiki Commons&#160;
