Sažetak
The Centre was established in 2017 with the goal of fostering collaboration between scholars in the field of the History of Emotions, especially in relation to its cross-cultural dimensions. The timeframe is conceived widely – from Antiquity to the present day – to encompass the multiple cultural traditions shaping collective emotions and identities in Europe. Geographically, the focus is South East Europe, the area between the Adriatic and Black Seas, however it welcomes research on other contact zones in any period as providing common ground for comparative study, and the exchange of methodological approaches to the study of emotion through situations of cultural encounter, conflict, and exchange. The establishment of this research network has had many challenges from the very beginning. Ideally, it was conceived as a multidisciplinary platform that could be used to do research on various aspects of cross-cultural exchange, especially emotions and identities. (This triple helix – culture, emotion, and identity, is the essence of fundamental questions in sociology, anthropology, and art, among others). Seemingly it went beyond disciplinary boundaries, and possibilities were uncountable. Nonetheless, three major issues arose: 1. The scholars associated with the network had already been engaged in many research projects that either did not have emotional component in its focus, or were just tangentially related ; 2. The methodologies of the history of emotions are still relatively fresh and developing, and not many scholars are acquainted with them ; 3. The studies of history and art history in the countries of South East Europe have always been mostly focused on ‘national’ research questions – which makes sense as local (art) history is always a base for comparative or world histories. Unfortunately, it also meant that large-scale multidisciplinary projects were extremely rare. It has always been quite difficult both to find a critical mass of scholars and requisite funding to explore complex research questions. The author hopes to encourage a discussion on the relations between micro- and macro- levels of (art) history, and on the relations between prominent institutions with long tradition and newly established networks/clusters, both of which face challenges of modern science.
