  Pedagogies of Feeling

   

  February 5, 2010, Hellems 199, 3-5:00 PM

  
  

  This talk develops the concept of affective legacies--the travel of emotion over time through the narratives of several individuals—around race relations, and explores how such legacies live in communicative practices and embodied performance.  By analyzing ethnographic oral histories concerning cultural memories of black and white community members who lived through school desegregation, it attempts to accentuate the affective networks that underlie these stories and contemplate both how to interpret them and why they matter.  The talk also addresses how to think about affective legacies in the process of fieldwork.

  Emeritus Professor Phillip K. Tompkins' latest book on homelessness, reviewed in the Daily Camera.

   

  'Who Is My Neighbor?' by Phillip K. Tompkins review: a human look at homelessness - By Clay Evans For the Camera

   

  "Although he's up to many things in this short, readable book, the author introduces readers to many of the guests (as he calls them) whom he met at the shelter and on the street. His descriptions of these encounters will be a pointed reminder to many readers of how seldom most of us really come into contact with homeless people."
