DESCRIPTION:Exploring the role of emotion in religious and intellectual li
 fe\, Peter Goldie has argued that not all emotional feelings are bodily fe
 elings\, and that feelings may also concern things in the world that reach
  beyond the body\; such feelings\, "bound up with thought"\, are what he h
 as called feelings towards. "Many of these emotions – such as delight\, 
 wonder\, awe\, courage\, doubt\, tenacity\, and hope – will be common be
 tween the intellectual and the religious sphere\; others – reverence and
  contrition perhaps – will be particular to religious experience" (Goldi
 e 2011. "Intellectual Emotions and Religious Emotions." Faith and Philosop
 hy 28.1: 93-101).\n\nEarly modern religious writers considered "holy affec
 tions" to be morally superior to all other emotions. Appealing to the emot
 ions became pervasive across confessional lines in the conversion and pros
 elytizing strategies employed by theologians\, preachers and missionaries 
 in the early modern age. There are significant differences\, however\, in 
 the emotions that the Catholic\, Lutheran and Calvinist clergy tried to in
 stil in their flocks. From around the mid-eighteenth century\, as Enlighte
 nment ideas permeated elites across Europe\, the established churches went
  on the defensive – intellectually\, culturally\, politically\, emotiona
 lly. This symposium explores the role of individual and collective emotion
 s in the religious life and sensibility of seventeenth- and eighteenth-cen
 tury Europe\, as expressed in devotional practices\, preaching styles\, in
 terpretations of catastrophic events or conversion processes. It particula
 rly engages with questions of inclusion and exclusion strategies\, anticle
 rical polemics and the perception and representation of heterodoxy and rel
 igious alterity.\n\nWorkshop programme\n
