The Centre for Critical and Cultural Theory and the English Literature 
Department, Cardiff University, are pleased to announce the call for 
papers for their upcoming Alternative Modernisms conference, to be held 
in Cardiff from 16-18 May 2013.

This international, interdisciplinary conference aims to bring attention 
to critically neglected modernist texts, movements and forms, as well as 
considering the extent to which modernisms are themselves (an) 
alternative – to realism, tradition, mass culture, or even to each other.

Please find attached the full call for papers and the conference poster; 
please circulate widely to all interested parties.

Proposals for 20-minute papers are due by 31 October 2012. Submissions 
and enquiries should be sent to (_modernisms /at/ cardiff.ac.uk) 
<mailto:(modernisms /at/ cardiff.ac.uk)>_. For more information, please see the 
conference website, _www.cardiff.ac.uk/encap/modernisms 
<http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/encap/modernisms>_.

The conference will also host the inaugural meeting of the Welsh Network 
of Modernist Studies, a new umbrella organisation which seeks to bring 
together academics working on modernism in Wales to facilitate better 
communication and collaboration. For more information please contact 
Emma West at (weste /at/ cardiff.ac.uk).

Very best wishes,

Emma West
