The double semantics of this term combines two different affects: On the one hand, the oppressive feeling of unease and anxiety, and on the other, concern for the well-being of others. However, concern can also include both at the same time, when it is a matter of caring for someone or something in the face of a worrying situation. The papers in this panel will analyze this ambivalence in relation to literary texts, musical performances, and contemporary youth culture television series. At the same time, we want to discuss more generally the fascination as well as the limits of passionate thinking and its artistic treatment.&#8221; Elisabeth Bronfen<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participants:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Elisabeth Bronfen<\/strong>, Universit\u00e4t Z\u00fcrich &amp; New York University<br><em>\u2019Tis nameless woe, I wot\u2019: Shakespeares Leidenschaftliche K\u00f6niginnen<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Christine L\u00f6tscher<\/strong>, Universit\u00e4t Z\u00fcrich<br><em>\u00d6kopassionen.
