The Centre for Modernist Studies will host the International Modernist Studies Association Annual Conference in August and September, 2013 on the theme ‘Everydayness and the Event’. Everydayness incorporates philosophical subjects such as time, space, and subjectivity; political questions about private versus public, ethics, race relations, and consumerism; psychoanalytic issues such as emotion and behaviour; aesthetic questions of ordinariness and genre (diary-writing, reportage, lists), and the often quirky minutiae of domesticity, including any and everything from objects, fashion, and food, to waste.

For more information, registration and programme please see the MSA website.
Director of MSA, Sussex: Dr Sara Crangle.
Core Sussex Coordinating Committee: Dr Sara Crangle, Dr Pam Thurschwell, Dr Sue Currell
