color="#000000">Panic and mourning are two distinct emotional
constructs that often intersect and interplay in landscapes of
conflict, violence, crisis, tragedy and catastrophe, both natural and
man-made. Whereas panic tends to occur during the experience of the
catastrophic events, mourning, on the other hand, relates to the
aftermath of a violent disruption and to the way humans try to make
sense of it retrospectively. Conversely, violent events can also leave
a thread of panic in its aftermath, such as mourning can be disturbed
or reinstated by a catastrophic occurrence.</font></span></p>

color="#000000">This inter-disciplinary conference seeks to address
questions at the interface of panic and mourning, both individually and
jointly. We are particularly interested in investigating
representations and performances of modalities and contexts of panic
(fear, horror, terror, rage, anxiety, shock, threat) and mourning
(pain, grief, loss, trauma, memory, melancholy, nostalgia, healing) in
media, literary and cultural frameworks.</font></span></p>
