"Modernist Objects"
Proposed Panel
Modernist Studies Association 4th Annual Conference
Much scholarly work has been done on the development of commodity culture in
the Victorian period, inviting us to think those times as structured at
least partially by a substantial shift in public and private relations to
objects. But what of the object--real or imaginary, fetish or commodity,
subject of desire, rejection, speculation--in modernism? Are there modern
objects, or modernist relations to objects? How do those interact,
historically or epistemologically, with modernist literary or artistic
productions?
Please submit a 200-300 word abstract for a proposed 3-4 person panel at the
fourth annual conference of the Modernist Studies Association (Oct. 31-Nov.
3, 2002 at the University of Wisconsin, Madison). Papers on a variety of
objects, small or large, mass-produced or unique, aesthetic or commercial,
imaginary or real, all welcome. Please include, along with your paper
proposal, a short version of your CV.
