No. 7 (2025): Comparing Emotions: Literary and Cultural Dynamics
Ed: Inês Robalo, Markus Ebenhoch
The seventh issue of Compendium is dedicated to the study of emotions as players in literary and cultural dynamics. Our aim is not to solely focus on how literary scholars draw from psychology or cognitive science, but also to explore how literary works and non-fictional narratives address and represent issues related to emotions in aesthetic ways. The issue positions literary and comparative studies as loci of research and reflection about emotions and thus as a field able to make original contributions to the affective turn. The case studies gathered here encompass a wide range of periods, from the early modern age to contemporaneity.
