This workshop aims to analyse the religious and cultural encounters between Asia and Europe (before 1945) through the lenses of emotions, affects, and feelings. In the past decades, the affective/emotional turn has sustained the re-assessment, and increased our understanding, of many historical processes and contexts. From this point of view, scholarship has just started investigating the history of the encounters between Asia and Europe and this workshop intends therefore to promote scholarly discussion on this theme.

THIS WORKSHOP HAS RECEIVED FUNDING FROM THE EUROPEAN UNION’S HORIZON 2020 RESEARCH AND INNOVATION PROGRAMME UNDER THE MARIE SKŁODOWSKA-CURIE GRANTAGREEMENT NO 101028277.
