If you wish to participate, please select one emotion from this dossier edited by G. To do so, we are seeking creative contributions on the seven emotions displayed at the very beginning of Dante’s masterpiece (in Inferno I and II): fear, courage, hope, love, compassion, desire, and joy. The exhibition How does it feel? Dante’s Emotions Today aims to tackle this question by sparking reflections on the vital relationship between emotions, literature, and community-making across cultures, places, and times. What happens when 21st-century people from diverse linguistic, cultural, and socio-economic communities confront and creatively reinterpret the emotional landscape of the opening scene of Dante Alighieri’s Inferno, one of the most celebrated works of medieval times and world literature?
