SUMMARY:Inside and Outside Modernism: An Anatomy of 1922 and its Cultures
DESCRIPTION:“James Joyce is quite wrong headed. Anyhow\, with his wilfulness\, he has made novel reading into a fair imitation of penal servitude…” (ARNOLD BENNETT on ULYSSES) \nKeynote Speakers: Professor Patrick Collier (Ball State University)\, Dr Beci Carver (University of Exeter) \nCALL FOR PAPERS\nThis one-day conference intends to examine 1922 looking at the cultures and writers associated with this significant year\, in all their forms and geographical spread. It will consider the year holistically\, considering cultural and personal interactions and how they relate to the intellectual work of modernism. The conference is designed to bring the year into clearer focus with interdisciplinary contributions from politics\, history\, science\, economics\, music\, literature\, book history and visual culture and areas that have fallen outside the purview of traditional modernism. Some questions the conference would like to approach include: how has modernism impacted on the study of artistic cultures? How far did recent history shape social attitudes? How did the political and economic uncertainties in 1922 permeate different cultures? Was 1922 important for anything more than modernism itself? \nKey areas that we suggest will be covered include: \n\nThe music of 1922\nPublishing and editing\nPopular fiction\nThe texts of modernism\nThe political and economic context\nThe Great War and 1922\nTheatre and culture\nThe trouble with modernism\nVisual cultures\nModernism in retrospect\nOutside the modernist canon\nScientific exploration\n\nUniversity of Reading Special Collections holds a number of important documents relating to publishing and literature in 1922 and there will be an exhibition showcasing some of the more prominent holdings which we hope will inform our discussions on the day. \nProposals for papers should be e-mailed to domonique.davies@pgr.reading.ac.uk and copy in b.bruce@pgr.reading.ac.uk no later than Wednesday December 1st 2021. All proposals should be about 250 words in length and papers should be a maximum of 20 minutes in duration. We hope to contact you about your proposal by 22nd December 2021. Please include an e-mail address and a two-to-three line biography with your proposal. \nWe are currently looking to deliver this conference in-person at the University of Reading\, subject to guidelines. However\, papers may be delivered online. Speakers and attendees will be notified closer to the date of confirmed arrangements. \nOrganised by Ben Bruce and Domonique Davies (Department of English Literature). Supported by the Centre for Book Cultures and Publishing and the Samuel Beckett Research Centre at University of Reading.
