Line Cecilie Engh will talk about the role that emotions played in cognition, attention and memory focusing on classical rhetoric and medieval monastic education and devotion. She will present work-in-progress: research for a paper to be presented at the conference Cognitive Futures in the Arts and the Humanities, which will take place at the University of Catania 3–5 June 2024. The topic of this conference is a perfect fit for the Eco-Emotions project: ‘From 4E to 5E Cognition: about Emotions.’
