Session Description:

As a kind of "in-between-ness," affect theory is concerned with bodies, movements, intensities, and relations of all kinds. The premodern world is a particularly fruitful ground for this type of analysis. Speakers might also concentrate on the problem of understanding the premodern from the perspective of this postmodern theory.

Subject:

• French Literature – Medieval and Renaissance
