Modernist Studies Association, 15th Annual Conference: Everydayness and the Event

University of Sussex, 2013

Sponsored jointly by: The Centre for Modernist Studies, University of Sussex and the University of Queen Mary, and the University of London

The Centre for Modernist Studies is pleased to host the International Modernist Studies Association Annual Conference in 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. Further details will be forthcoming.
