220072 Emotions between science and culture (S) (SoSe 2024)
Contents, comment
-
Among human experiences, emotions are probably the most difficul to grasp, and scholars from very different disciplines have in the past asked about their nature: philosophers, anthropologists, psychologists, biologists, neuroscientists and most recently also historians. In this course we will discuss some of the approaches through which, in different disciplines and times, questions about emotions were asked and tentatively answered, among them also the fundamental issue, how far it may or not be possible to define culturally-independent, overarching categories like "emotions," "feeling" or "affects." Special attention will be devoted to the tensions between knowledge about emotions coming from the humanities on the one side and from natural sciences on the other. Examples of the topics to be discussed are portrayal of emotions in early modern art, Charles Darwin's treatise "The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals" (1872), efforts by ethnologists to explore emotions of non-Western cultures, and Paul Ekman's theory of the six universal emotions, which today is often used to program emotions in robots and AIs - and as a basis for surveillance technologies
