Affective Apparatus, Senses and the Nation-state
Summary: This project seeks to explore the configuration of the nation-state through the evocation of senses by various affective apparatus (like museums, memorials etc.). As a Co-Organiser of the International Inter-disciplinary Conference 'Melancholic States', 27-29 September 2007, various discussions relating to this project are explored. http://www.lancs.ac.uk/fass/events/melancholicstates/registration.htm
