It is with great excitement that we announce the start of a new seminar series on 'Affective Artefacts', which is going to discuss the agentive and affective qualities of matter, thus, the capacity of materials and things to generate, maintain, and challenge emotional atmospheres.

This semester, KAT HILL (BIRKBECK), HANNAH NEWTON (READING), TIM INGOLD (ABERDEEN), OLIVER HARRIS (LEICESTER), KATHERINE BOND (BASEL), AND MONIQUE SCHEER (TÜBINGEN, TBC) will present their most recent research.

Charting the relationship between material cultures and cultures of emotions, this seminar series engages in a recent debate on how non-human matter engendered affectivity in the past. Bringing together researchers of different disciplinary backgrounds such as anthropologists, archaeologists, art historians, curators, historians and sociologists, the seminar provides a cross-disciplinary platform to exchange views on methods and technologies, to discuss case studies, and to develop and test a shared vocabulary of material culture studies.

The seminar is organised by Dr Stefan Hanß and Prof Sasha Handley on behalf of the Embodied Emotions research group of the University of Manchester. If you wish to know more about this seminar series, please contact either Stefan Hanß (stefan.hanss@manchester.ac.uk) or Sasha Handley (Sasha.Handley@manchester.ac.uk).
