The goal is to clarify the background of boredom, and to explore its representation through forgotten cross-cutting narratives beyond the typical approaches, i.e. those of psychology or psychiatry. For the first time this experienced group of scholars gathers to promote a cross-border dialogue from a multidisciplinary perspective.Critical studies (Amsterdam, Netherlands) ;v. 40.BoredomBoredom in literatureBoredom.Boredom in literature.152.4Ros Velasco Josefa1987-NL-LeKBNL-LeKBCaOWtU9910820996703321The Culture of Boredom3988743UNINA
