10:00-12:00 / Urdu children’s literature (1870-1970): Learning how to feel

 

Margrit Pernau (Centre for the History of Emotions/Max Planck Institute, Berlin)

Discussant: Vanessa Caru (CEIAS)

This talk draws on a current project of our research group at the Max Planck Institute and ask how children learn about emotions (and hence, how to feel) through the medium of stories and novels. The talk will explore the emotions which come together under the notion of piety in four fields, the 19^th century reformist literature, the Amir Hamza cycle, the children’s literature developed at the Jamia Millia since the 1920s and the books published by the Children’s Book Trust, as an example of the Nehruvian emotional regime.
