Historia de Las Sensibilidades [Spanish]

By Alain Corbin

The History of Sensibilities has for decades been the exclusive domain of a few pioneers, since writing the story of the emotional and affective lives of individuals and societies of the past is an endeavor as attractive as it is complex. However, to ignore this aspect of life is nothing less than to mutilate it, for by reconsidering the relationship between body and mind, this raw, visceral history offers us a new way of approaching both individual and collective experience. Through the analysis of phenomena ranging from weeping in Roman antiquity to the expression of intimate feelings in marital correspondence during the First World War, the historians convened by Corbin and Mazurel demonstrate all that the study of sensibilities, past and present, can contribute to our understanding of societies.
