Subject: Modernist Magazines Conference
MODERNIST MAGAZINES CONFERENCE
‘THE MODERNIST ATLANTIC’
JULY 12-14TH 2007
DE MONTFORT UNIVERSITY, LEICESTER, UK
Call for Papers
Keynote Speaker: Michael North (UCLA)
‘The Modernist Atlantic’ is the first of two international conferences
organised by the Modernist Magazines Project
(www.cts.dmu.ac.uk/modmags/index.htm), directed by Peter Brooker
(University of Nottingham) and Andrew Thacker (De Montfort University), and
funded by the AHRC.
Although the study of modernism has been revolutionised over the last decade
it is only recently been recognised that periodical publications made a
distinctive contribution to the modernist movement. This conference aims to
address the role of magazines in the construction of modernism, focussing
upon magazines in Britain, Ireland and North America. Papers are invited
on the following themes:
studies of individual magazines; studies of individual writers and artists
in magazines; archives; serialisation; the short story in magazines;
metropolitan and regional cultures; coteries and salons; advertising; visual
culture; gender and publishing; race/nationalism/identities; technologies,
typists, typefaces; circulation, censorship and readership; patronage;
editors; manifestoes and movements; the avant-garde; tradition and the
new; ‘little’ and ‘large’magazines; popular and mainstream; transnationalism
and geomodernisms; small presses and printers.
Please send proposals (150 words max.) to either Peter Brooker
([log in to unmask]) or Andrew Thacker ([log in to unmask]) by
January 8th 2007.
