In light of the recent interest across the Humanities in emotion, affect and associated topics such as sensation, this symposium turns our attention to the related but largely overlooked category of sentiment. On the one hand we seek to remember the complex
history of this term: its centrality, for instance, to 18<sup>th</sup> century moral philosophy and aesthetics, and the mechanisms by which it becomes, in the 19<sup>th</sup> century, conflated with the largely derisory concept of sentimentalism as an overabundance
or banality of feeling, triviality of character, or as a descriptor for bad art. Given the demotion of sentiment to sentimentalism, this symposium invites us to reflect on the status of sentiment as a concept at this particular theoretical and cultural moment;
to consider what traction it might offer us as a concept in various disciplines across the Humanities; and the ways in which it informs contemporary genres and media.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
