Coolness
An international symposion on theory and praxis of affect control
Be it as an emotional quality of a globalized youth culture or as an aesthetic concept, coolness and other forms of affect control differ vastly in their respective social and cultural contextualization. Experts from various fields – American Studies and Japanese Studies, Classics, Cultural Studies, Philosophy, Anthropology, and Sociology – discuss the allure of cool and compare the application of different disciplinary models in the analysis of this phenomenon.
A workshop of the cluster project Coolness.
