Feelings of Belonging and Affective Spaces: Phenomenological Explorations

University of Exeter, 3 & 4 October 2019


CALL FOR REGISTRATION:

Dear colleagues,

We are happy to announce the call for registration for the upcoming workshop at the University of Exeter on 3-4 October 2019 entitled ‘Feelings of Belonging and Affective Spaces: Phenomenological Explorations’. Registration is open until Monday 23 September. The details of the workshop are set out below.

 

Workshop description:

The aim of this two-day workshop is to consider the relationship between feelings of belonging and affective spaces. We seek to chart the various ways in which experiences such as group experience, political engagement, isolation, interpersonal atmospheres and online sociality manifest in relation to how social space is experienced and navigated. The format of the workshop will consist of a mixture of presentations and complementary round-table discussions.
