The human relationship with stone was the focus of a recent gathering of minds for the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions.
“There is something about stone that calls forth the desire to touch it, and to shape it with our desires and emotions,” said Professor Susan Broomhall, acting director of the Centre for the History of Emotions, based at The University of Western Australia.
“Those desires can take different forms, from Aboriginal rock art, medieval cathedrals, stone memorials or diamond engagement rings. Stone is a feature of many natural landscapes, and the history of our relationship with stone is a significant part of the history of emotions.”
