Symposium on Literature and
the Emotions:
For 2009-11, the topic of the
Symposium on Literature and the Emotions will be "Talking Cures." We
are now planning events on symbol-affect connections (coding and
processing, assessment, attachment activity); the behavior of
specific affects (fear, shame, and disgust); the idea of plasticity.
