| Description | Following SIS 2023 themed conference, Affect Emotion Sensation, the panel Heart, Gestures and Emotions in the 19th century three Crowns intends to investigate the representation of emotions in Ugo Foscolo’s, Giacomo Leopardi’s and Alessandro Manzoni’s work. At the turn of the 19th century a new sensibility towards the individual’s emotions and its visual manifestation can be observed. Foscolo’s interest on the notion of grace, as well as a Manzoni’s attention on the gestures of his characters in Promessi sposi are just few examples of this new attitude. The panel together with the one proposed by Maria Silvia Marini’s Asking for Justice Rage, hope, imagination: “sense of justice” in the late modern Italian literature, aims to bring new attention on 19th century Italian writers inside the Italian studies in UK and Ireland. |
