Visions of the Modern City
Prior to World War I, the avant-garde poets F. T. Marinetti, Guillaume Apollinaire and Blaise Cendrars took leading roles in creating a vision of the city that celebrated the age of industrialism. This vision also smashed a space/time model, which had its origins in the Renaissance. The urban aesthetic developed by these poets and their contemporaries was to have a lasting impact on 20th Century culture. This panel will explore not only the work of these individuals, but also the origins of their vision in the 19th Century and the continuation of their ideas into the present.
This panel is seeking broadly conceived papers from a wide variety of disciplines in the arts and the humanities.
Instead of the usual twenty minute format utilized at most conferences, this panel will allow presentations of thirty minutes. This longer period will enable speakers to develop their arguments in greater detail. Time will be available for discussion.
Abstracts of no more than 300 words and an abbreviated c.v. should be sent to:
Dr. Edward A. Aiken, Lowe Art Gallery, Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY 13244/email: eaaiken@syr.edu. E-mail is preferred. Deadline: March 12, 2001.
