[ecrea] CFP: 'Etant Donnes': Questioning the material and marginal givens of modernisms scholarship

‘Étant donnés’:

Questioning the material and marginal givens of modernisms scholarship

(A Meta-Modernist Symposium)

12-13 April 2013
University College Cork

Plenary Speakers:
Dr Sara Crangle, University of Sussex
Dr Ruth Hemus, Royal Holloway


This is an invitation to interrogate how we think and do modernisms 
scholarship. It is a call to examine assumptions about the materiality 
and marginality of modernisms and an appeal to evaluate how criticism 
responds to the format of formalism.

The aim of ‘Étant donnés’ is to provoke a critical (re)evaluation of the 
lines we draw around and between modernist practices. Embracing a 
chronologically broad conceptualization of literary, plastic and 
performative ‘modernisms’, it seeks to generate self-reflexive scholarly 
investigations across disciplines.

We welcome proposals for papers from students and scholars of 
modernism(s) across the humanities, as well as from editors, archivists, 
translators, publishers and curators of modernist cultural artefacts. 
Proposals for challenges to the critical consensus on topics material or 
marginal will be especially well received, as will proposals to treat 
the potential impact of new technologies and reports of explorations 
from virgin and fallow territories within (or around) the field.

Abstracts of 300 words can be submitted to (modernismsucc /at/ gmail.com) by 
January 30, 2012.

Generously supported by the Irish Research Council 'New Foundations' 
Scheme. For details please see the full CFP attached.
