NYU Modernism Conference
Jonathan Culler Keynote Speaker
Conference:
This conference centers on ways of reading modernism. Each
panel focuses on a distinct methodology or approach to looking at
Modernist works. Noy limited to graduate students.
Conference Format:
Papers will not be read in the panels but will be submitted at least
one month prior to the conference and posted on our website for reading
before arrival.
Panelists will bring 1-2 page handouts (which can be a
synopsis, a diagram, a list of bullet points, a series of important
quotations) to be distributed at panel discussions. Each participant
will have ten minutes to present his or her work, and panel leaders
will lead a discussion between members.

PANEL:
Boundary Questions
We propose this panel as a forum for research that deepens and unsettles
our understanding of modernism's place within the field of cultural
production. We encourage papers that explore the ways in which
contemporaneous literary movements and cultural phenomena related to
modernism as symbiotic partners, oppositional forces or indifferent
onlookers. We hope that by emphasizing comparisons that transgress the
traditional boundaries associated with the name "Modernism", we will be
able to analyze different points in the cultural field and find modernism
located at different places within the field, playing different roles, and
being mobilized for different purposes and not allow modernist ideology to
control our historical and social visions of the era.
Papers/Viewpoints may include considerations of the discourses of
anthropology and sociology, debates over immigration policy and practice,
translation as a practice that mediates between rhetorics of cultural
fidelity and hybridity and attempts to create linguistic and cultural
standards.
