E/motion. On the Politics of Emotion and Gender

Sara Ahmed affirms that the "promise of happiness" is imagined as a factor that allows subjects to achieve future happiness, leave behind a past associated with negative experiences and emotions, and even experience a sense of freedom. From this conception of emotion as an element that calls to action, Helena González Fernández (director of ADHUC-Universitat de Barcelona) will offer the seminar "Conmover para mover. Sobre a política das emocións e o xénero" in which she will analyze some symptomatic signs of how this issue is represented in popular culture in the 21st century. Event organized within the research project Theory of emotions and gender in popular culture of XXI century. Free attendance. Hashtag: Think about the effects.
