CALL FOR PAPERS:
Postgraduate Conference ART & EMOTION (University of Hong Kong)

The Department of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong is pleased to announce:

International Postgraduate Conference
ART & EMOTION
Department of Philosophy, University of Hong Kong
Thursday 12th and Friday 13th, December 2013

 We invite interested postgraduate students to submit proposals for papers (20mins + 10mins discussion).

The Aim of the Conference:
There is a growing interest in understanding emotions and their place in human experience. What is emotion – is it a state, or is it a process? What, if anything, do our emotions tell us about the world or our needs? What is and should be the role of emotions in, for example, approaching ethical dilemmas? One of the areas in which these questions become most vibrant is in thinking about art in its broadest possible sense (fine arts, music, cinema, literature, etc). Do artworks arouse real or quasi emotions? How do we derive pleasure from experiencing negative emotions in art? Is there any moral – or pragmatic – value in an emotional engagement with artworks? If artworks succeed in evoking emotion, what can that tell us about the nature of emotions per se? This conference is designed to provide postgraduatestudents who are working on said issues in aesthetics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of art and other relevant fields (inc. psychology, arts, and literature) the opportunity to present their work-in-progress to peers for review and dialogue.
