The challenging and paradoxical nature of the ‘erotic’ has enjoyed a resurgence of status and attention within the academy. However, in recent times much of this work has become increasingly specialised within disciplinary boundaries. The effect of this has been twofold; first, there is a failure to recognise cross-disciplinary connections which centre on this theme and second, it neglects important historical and cultural perspectives on the development of the ‘erotic’ as a locus of attention.
This project aims to instigate inter-disciplinary dialogues which will enable a clearer awareness of the historical and cultural developments of the ‘erotic’ and simultaneously explore cross-disciplinary perspectives on its current forms and manifestations.
