We are delighted to invite you to the upcoming conference, “On Touching and （E）motion: Intercontinental Encounters.”
Join us for an international and interdisciplinary gathering exploring the creative and critical potential of interactions between the tangible and intangible. This two-day conference will illuminate points of contact between East and West, fostering culturally immersive dialogue across centuries of critical thought and intercultural relations.
In our contemporary moment, as we increasingly live significant portions of our lives in virtual space, questions of touch, materiality, and emotion become ever more pressing. From virtual relationships with AI to the movement of healing practices across continents, this conference brings together scholars from Literature, Philosophy, Art History, Social Sciences, Linguistics, Media Studies, and the Performing Arts.
