This call for papers is for a proposed panel to be held at "(Dis)Junctions:
Romancing Heteroglossia" at the University of California, Riverside's 11th
Annual Humanities Conference. The graduate student conference will take
place on April 9-10, 2004.
We invite you to submit papers addressing the styles of writing adopted by
various modernist authors; this panel seeks to explore the "art" of
modernist writing--the ways in which writers during early 20th century
construct themselves as "authors" and their works as "texts." Authors are
not limited to any "traditional" modernist canons. Papers may consider (but
are not limited to) the following issues:
-- social and political aspects of modernist literature
-- modernist use of dialect and racial/ethnic stereotypes
-- (en)gendering modernist texts
-- opacity/transparency of modernist language
-- issues of modernist authorship
-- modernist treatment of history
-- literacy and the modernist text
-- non-"literary" texts by modernist authors
Scholarship from all disciplines is welcomed. One page abstracts of 250
words should be emailed to ucr_disj@hotmail.com by March 1, 2004. Text
should be included in the body of the email; please, no attachments. For
more information, please refer to our website:
