Call for Papers
METROPOLIS IN THE SPACE BETWEEN
The sixth annual conference
THE SPACE BETWEEN: LITERATURE AND CULTURE 1914-1945
Exploring the myriad and often conflicting meanings of "the city"
as expressed in literature, film, photography, theater, creative reportage,
history, and art history. Inspired by Fritz Lang's film, we are calling
for papers that examine relationships between the many written and
pictorial forms that represent the city and its artistic, rhetorical, and
symbolic meanings, in a given moment or as reflecting cultural and
historical change and crisis.
From Lang's Weimar to Mina Loy's Paris, from the Harlem
Renaissance to Leni Reifenstahl's Berlin, and from Martha Gellhorn's
Barcelona to Elizabeth Bowen's Blitz and Marguerite Duras's "Hiroshima Mon
Amour," and beyond, we will examine the construction and deconstruction of
such terms as habitat, haven, ghetto, and muse as well as Metropolis as the
center and periphery of civilization, as the inspiration for an idealized
Rural, and even as anti-Metropolis.
The conference will be held at the Ohio State University,
Columbus, Ohio
June 5-6, 2004.
