Call for Papers
The Canadian Modernists Meet
A Symposium
University of Ottawa, May 9-10, 2003
Symposium Co-Chairs: Dean Irvine and Seymour Mayne
F. R. Scott's satirical poem "The Canadian Authors Meet" has long epitomized
the emergent modernist's call for a new literary movement in Canada.
Seventy-five years after the publication of Scott's poem in the McGill
Fortnightly Review, questions about the making of literary modernism in
Canada are still under investigation and increasingly subject to debate.
This symposium seeks to bring together critics, historians, editors,
translators, and theorists whose research on late nineteenth-century and
twentieth-century literatures contributes to the study of modernism in
Canada. Paper proposals are welcome on any issue related to modernism and
Canadian literature from the late nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth
century -- whether case studies of specific texts and authors, literary and
cultural histories, theoretical applications, discussions of editorial
problems and methods, or intermedia approaches.
Topics for papers are open, but may relate to one or more of the following:
* international contexts and influences
* cultural modernism, modernity, or modernization
* antimodernism, mass culture, or popular culture
* political and social organizations/movements
* writers' groups, associations, and foundations
* recordings, readings, films, and radio broadcasts
* visual art, illustration, and book/magazine design
* prefaces, editorials, and manifestos
* critics and reviewers
* little magazines and literary presses
* publishers and editors
* production, distribution, and marketing
* anthologies and anthologists
* translation and translators
* contemporary editing and editions of modernist authors
Selected papers by symposium participants will be considered for an essay
collection in the Reappraisals: Canadian Writers series, published by the
University of Ottawa Press.
