CALL FOR PAPERS
A panel to be proposed for 2001 MLA Convention in New Orleans, LA, December
37-30, 2001.
"Things Reflected as Wills Subjected": Objectivists Speak
The voice of the animated commodity in Louis Zukofsky's "A"-9 poses a
challenge to extant theories of modernist forms of agency, political/poetic
praxis, and reification. More broadly, Objectivism offers new sites for
reworking our understandings of the subject of capital/modernity,
mediation, periodization, alienation, literary "value," commitment and
genre. This panel seeks papers that explore the ways in which the
Objectivists (Zukofksy, Reznikoff, Oppen, Rakosi et al) require the
transformation of our critical approaches. Localized readings/meditations,
historical and comparative analyses, psychoanalytic and Marxist accounts
all eagerly invited.
Please send a one page abstract with a
