The ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions (CHE), Sydney node, is pleased to announce that it will be hosting a Study Day, Danse Macabre: Emotional Responses to Death and Dying from Medieval to Contemporary Times, to be held at the Australian Museum on Friday 21 September 2012. It will bring together the expertise of members of the Sydney node of the CHE on medieval and early modern death with a topic that resonates widely with the public. The Study Day has attracted two outstanding keynote speakers: Professor Ian Hickie of the Brain and Mind Research Institute at The University of Sydney and Dr Peter Goldsworthy, one of Australia’s leading authors as well as a medical doctor. The morning session will focus on the question of the emotional impulses towards suicide from medieval Europe to the UFO-based religions of the late twentieth century. The afternoon sessions will focus on the process of memorialization, with particular reference to the rise of comic funereal verse in the seventeenth-century and of printed suicide notes in the eighteenth-century popular press as well as the literary expressions of bereavement upon the loss of companion animals in nineteenth century literature.
