On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, 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).
