    Madison, Wisconsin
    October 31-November 3, 2002

    Cognitive Approaches to the Study of Modernism

    The goal of this panel is to initiate a discussion of the multiple ways
    in which recent theories of cognition can open up literary modernism to
    new readers and new insights while providing substantive support for
    already existing views of modernism. More specifically, a cognitive
    approach to the production and reception of literary modernism reveals
    that many modern writers were practicing cognitivists long before the
    emergence of detailed theories which help to validate their aesthetic
    strategies. Using recent cognitive theory, it is possible to work back
    through and evaluate aspects of modernism that have remained unexplored
    or mischaracterized for over seventy years. Any papers that address
    these or related issues welcome.

    Please email 250 word paper proposals and c.v.s to Dr. Bradley D.
    Clissold, FCAR Postdoctoral Fellow Dalhousie University
    (bcliss@po-box.mcgill.ca). Participants must be members of The
    Modernist Studies Association by the time of the conference. Deadline:
    20 April 2002.
