Ladislav Holy Memorial Trust Postgraduate Workshop Grant

'Intense Episodes' is a one-day workshop that will bring together PhD students and early-career researchers to create a space of conversation, with a proposed outcome of an edited volume or special issue. This workshop seeks to explore the possibilities of a different representational focus: intense episodes. It will investigate the analytical insights that may arise from focusing simultaneously on the degree of feeling and temporality of the event. A focus on intensity means shifting from the small disturbances and intricacies of everyday life towards drama, outburst, and affective excess in all their liveliness.
