Best, James -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Msa-discuss] Paper Call for Edited volume on Modernism in the Mediterranean Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2012 00:53:39 -0400 From: Adam Goldwyn To: msa-discuss at jhupress.jhu.edu For those interested, please find below a call for abstracts/papers for a proposed volume on Modernism in the Mediterranean: Proposed Volume Title: /The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World in the Age of Modernity/ Eds. Adam J. Goldwyn (Uppsala University) and Renee Silverman (Florida International University) Call for Papers: For centuries, the Mediterranean Sea has both divided and joined the many disparate nations, cultures, language groups and artistic traditions which flourished in the Mediterranean Basin: the Maghreb, Iberia, Southern Europe, the Balkans, the Levant and Egypt. As a dividing line and barrier to inter-cultural exchange, it has allowed each of these regions and their many cultures to develop unique artistic traditions. As the major feature binding these diverse cultures together, however, it has also facilitated inter-cultural exchange. What happens, then, when these traditions travel, meet and merge with each other? How does the host country adopt and adapt the ideas and aesthetics coming from abroad to its own native tradition? This volume will look at such pan-Mediterranean artistic exchange (in literature as well as film, painting, music, photography, etc.) produced during or about the Modernist period, roughly the last quarter of the 19^th century and the first half of the 20^th. We welcome papers addressing any aspect of Modernist and /avante-garde/literature and art on four related themes: first, papers which describe the interaction of two or more Mediterranean artistic traditions (international Futurism, for example, or the reception of French Surrealism in Algeria); second, two or more Mediterranean cultures (Alexandria?s Jewish community or relations between Greeks and Turks in Cyprus); third, depictions of the Mediterranean itself during the period (in, for example, Lawrence Durrell?s /Bitter Lemons of Cyprus/or Henry Miller?s /Colossus of Maroussi/); or, fourth, the myriad forms of Modernist and /avante-garde/art which emerged from a single location (such as Cavafy, Marinetti, Ungaretti and Durrell in Alexandria). Papers on similar themes will also be considered. Email one to two page abstracts by June 15 to Dr. Goldwyn at adam.goldwyn at lingfil.uu.se -------------- next part -------------- _______________________________________________ Msa-discuss mailing list Msa-discuss at chaos.press.jhu.edu http://chaos.press.jhu.edu/mailman/listinfo/msa-discuss From james.d.gifford at gmail.com Thu May 17 16:25:47 2012 From: james.d.gifford at gmail.com (James Gifford) Date: Thu, 17 May 2012 16:25:47 -0700 Subject: [ilds] Fwd: ILDS Executive Board Nominations In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4FB588FB.6090207@gmail.com> Hello all, More updates!

In many respects (and for a very long time), it would have been easier to travel from Egypt to Rome, despite being divided by a sea, than it would have been to travel from Cairo to Cape Town (despite being part of the same land mass). > This sea shore has melded the oldest > traditions with the most modern!
