OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In this short paper, I consider how far Raymond Williams’s notion of a ‘structure of feeling’ can help us understand what is involved in the transmission of affect. In particular I ask what is involved when socially-held meaning is transmitted to individuals. I look at one way that Williams’s term might be philosophically parsed, so as to bring out its usefulness. The paper is followed by short comments and discussion from five other contributors: Matt ffytche (Psychosocial Studies, Essex), Louise Gyler (Sydney, Australian Psychoanalytical Society), Shaull bar Heim (Sociology, Essex), Sarath Jakka (Institute of Cultural Inquiry, Berlin), Michael Uebel (Austin, Texas).
