While keeping a slight emphasi s on Western “emotions\,” the conference seeks to open its investigati ons to a different cultural sphere.\n\nThe history of emotions in eighteen th century Europe has often been charted concomitantly with the rise of fi ctional literature\, notably the novel. After the reign of passions and th eir rootedness in the humoral constitution of the body\, the European Enli ghtenment stressed “emotions” and “sentiments” predicated on the d ominance of senses in human cognition\, seen as more diverse\, ephemeral\, and socially informed.\n\nIn exploring the representation of the self and its relationship to passions and emotions both within the perspective of cultural encounters between East and West and within the specific genre of non-fictional accounts (testimonies\, journals\, memoirs\, correspondence s)\, we will be guided by such questions as: are passions personal or comm on? Is the physical\, religious or social grid dominant in their represent ations? Is the self their victim or their agent? What terms are used for v arious feelings described? What are the differences between East and West\ , between court and family\, between men and women? Is there a historical shift? What dominant feelings characterize the writing self and how?\n\nTh e conference is funded in part by the FACE Foundation through its Partner University Fund\, as part of a three-year-long project of cooperation betw een the University of California\, Los Angeles and Université de Tours\, entitled “From Passions To Emotions: Non-Fictional Representations of th e Individual (1680-1850)”.\n\n Speakers\n\n\nFrédéric Charbonneau\, M c Gill University\nAngelina Del Balzo\, University of California\, Los Ang eles\nMarie-Paule De Weerdt-Pilorge\, Université de Tours\nDorothea Frons man-Cecil\, University of California\, Los Angeles\nMarc Hersant\, Univers ité de Paris III (Sorbonne Nouvelle)\nMartin Huang\, University of Califo rnia\, Irvine\nXiaoqiao Ling\, Arizona State University\nTina Lu\, Yale Un iversity\nRobert Maniquis\, University of California\, Los Angeles\nJean-J acques Tatin-Gourier\, Université de Tours\nShirley F.
