[ilds] CFP - Louisville conference

[James Gifford]

Hello all,

Below is a call for papers for general work in 20th century literature 
for the Louisville Conference on Literature and Culture since 1900. 
This CFP /does not/ displace the Durrell Society's usual two panels at 
the conference, the call for which will be circulated separately in the 
next couple of weeks.

Please forward this on to any interested parties.  It would be grand to 
have a lively and cooperative discussion between several different groups.

My best,
James

The Louisville Conference on Literature and Culture Since 1900
http://modernlanguages.louisville.edu/conference/

Louisville, KY | 19-21 February


For the 2009 Louisville Conference on Literature and Culture Since 1900, 
the International Lawrence Durrell Society is preparing a series of 
panels aimed at promoting dialogue and collaboration among the various 
societies and associations represented annually at the conference as 
well as other groups. To this end, we invite proposals for papers on a 
variety of topics that will promote discussion of Modernist authors in 
their milieu and across the Twentieth Century. Loosely, the established 
paradigms of plural Modernisms and of Late Modernism will unify the 
panels while thematic foci will provide avenues of discussion. Possible 
topics might include:

   +  Writing the Mediterranean: H.D., Durrell, Woolf,
      Seferis, Cavafy, etc.
   +  Editorial Interventions: From Blast to The Booster,
      Hogarth Press to Faber & Faber
   +  The Interbellum Left Bank: Literary Paris from the
      1920s to the 1930s
   +  Poetics and Politics: Modernist Activism from Fascism,
      Liberalism, Socialism, to Anarchism
   +  From Urban to Rural Landscapes: Hemingway, Eliot,
      Aldington, Woolf, Durrell
   +  Reading 1922 to 1939: Ulysses to Finnegans Wake
      Framing Late Modernism
   +  1930s Radical Styles: Barnes' Nightwood, Miller's
      Tropic of Cancer, Beckett's Murphy, Durrell's Black Book,
      and so forth
   +  Freud Ascendant: Reading the Dream Between the Wars
   +  "Where are the War Poets?": Literature of WWI and WWII
   +  Queering the Modern: Sexualities and/not Identities
   +  From Imagism to English Surrealism and the Avant Garde
   +  European Influences on Anglo-American Writing

These topics need not limit proposals, and all papers that allow for 
meaningful dialogue between groups active in Twentieth Century 
literature will be considered. Papers relating two or more authors are 
particularly welcome, but this is not required. Ideally, panels will 
have topically related papers that then allow for discussion of the 
relations among authors. Papers on Pound, Eliot, Woolf, Joyce, H.D., 
Aldington, Durrell, Thomas, Barnes, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Beckett, 
Miller, Nin, and their milieu are particularly welcome (the so-called 
High and Late modernists).

These panels will not displace or disrupt the panels already held by 
individual societies. Instead, they will add to these existing panels by 
promoting interaction and mutual attendance. It will be possible to 
ensure panels do not conflict in the schedule. Not all panels or papers 
will address Durrell’s works or any other particular figure. After 
several years of successful panels on related authors occurring adjacent 
to each other, the present as an appropriate time to develop dialogue 
between these panels to further collaborative work and research.

Send one-page proposals by 12 September 2008 to:
