The emotional register of liberal culture in the long nineteenth century

该项目旨在促进我们对自由文化的理解，这是一个对人文学科和现代社会和政治话语至关重要的概念。它将通过调查情感作为自由主义文化的核心特征在其形成和随后的发展过程中的漫长的十九世纪的作用，解决自由主义的感知理性主义的问题。该项目将侧重于期刊作为培养和传播进步自由思想和价值观以及表达和讨论情感的重要媒介。该项目将使政治，文学和文化研究的学者受益，并有助于澳大利亚当前关于自由文化及其可持续性的辩论。

This project aims to advance our understanding of liberal culture, a concept central to the humanities and to modern social and political discourse. It will address the problem of liberalism's perceived rationalism by investigating the role of emotion as a core characteristic of liberal culture during its formation and subsequent development over the course of the long nineteenth century. The project will focus on periodicals as a vital medium for the cultivation and dissemination of progressive liberal ideas and values, as well as for the expression and discussion of the emotions. The project will benefit scholars in political, literary, and cultural studies and contribute to current debates in Australia about liberal culture and its sustainability.
