ワークショップ「比較モダニズム―心理学・文学・情動」

9月14日（土曜日）に成蹊大学で国際ワークショップ「比較モダニズム論―心理学・文学・情動」が開催されます。 Comparative Modernisms: Psychology, Literature, and Affect —International Conference— 14 September 2013 Seikei University, Tokyo Financially supported by Japan Society for the Promotion of Science and in collaboration with The Centre for the History of Psychological Disciplines at University College London The so-called ‘affective theory’ has made Anglo-American cultural studies philosophically sophisticated to the point of a theoretical saturation or rather inflation. We do not deny a set of insights it has provided us with (it is no exaggeration to say that ‘affect’ is today among the most popular and heated topics); at the same time, there is no doubt that—whilst inspired by it—we have to be more historically specific after such ‘affective turns’ in the humanities. Basically taking our cues from The Mind of Modernism (Stanford UP, 2004)—a seminal collection of articles on the psychologised/psychologising facets of European modernity—we attempt to re-historicise the affective aspects of modernist discourses, discussing not only European psychological and literary languages but also interwar Japanese psychiatry. Our purposes are: more detailed readings of the interconnections between literature and psychology; drawing more careful attentions to psychiatric practices; becoming less Freudocentric (a critical tendency which has obviously narrowed any possible viewpoint concerning our topics); and further re/interpretations of British modernist texts. These approaches will show more nuanced and suggestive comparisons of modernist languages—those literary, medical and psychological discourses characteristically fascinated and/or disgusted with modern psychologisations—thereby giving a series of fresh insights into the ‘mind of modernisms’.
