Researchers in early modern sound and music studies have struggled to integrate insights from the history of emotions into their work. This project aims to bridge this gap by bringing together experts in the histories of emotions, the body, and the senses with scholars in the histories of music and sound to investigate the role of fear in authoritative regimes in
Eurasian (e.g., Austrian Habsburg, Bohemian, Hungarian, and Ottoman) spaces from 1550 to 1750.
