Rough list of topics that interest me:
The interaction between epistemology (reason, understanding, wisdom) and the passions/emotions/affect.
Emotions in aesthetics (including literature, music, visual arts), whether it is the artist trying to capture something or the audience response.
Emotion as a kind of social epistemology that spreads through contagion (see Spinoza, Deleuze & Guattari).
Various works from positive psychology on the emotions.
The humors and temperament.
General history of ideas of the passions and emotions.
Appeals to pathos in rhetoric.
The "cognitive passions": wonder, curiosity, ecstasy, awe, surprise, amazement, enchantment, etc.
The affective aspects of magic, illusions, myth, fairy tales, etc.
