A day of fascinating talks and engaging discussions - thanks so much for coming, everyone! We hope you enjoyed โThe Pleasures of Hating, 1660-1830โ as much as we did.
"We're interested in hating as a generative attentiveness. The opposite of hate is not love, it is indifference."
Dan & Frankie introduce today's @HatingConf
Delighted to be @HatingConf this morning (sponsored by @BARS_official). It promises to be an extremely lively event full of fine speakers, interesting papers and not a few bitchy comments from 18th century writers!
I'm looking forward to presenting at The Pleasure of Hating conference at College Cambridge today, and to what looks like a fascinating series of talks. Follow the action over at @HatingConf
Miss Sukey: If I could but hurt my enemies without being hurt myself, it would be the greatest pleasure I could have in the world.
Sarah Fielding, The Governess (1749)
"...you have to keep flexing that muscle, don't you think? A friend of mine says that without hate, there is no art."
