Forthcoming Events:
Modernist Intimacies
University of Sussex, Friday May 17, 2013
Keynote Speaker: Denis Flannery (University of Leeds)
Responding to recent scholarly constellations of modernism, affect and intimacy this one-day symposium, hosted by the Centre for Modernist Studies at University of Sussex, seeks to explore new ways of thinking about modernist feeling and modernist intimacies. Are there such things as “modernist feelings”? How might different modernist narratives of emotion in psychoanalysis, literary theory, philosophy and medicine be made to collide, disrupt and form new points of contact? How do modernist bodies come together and apart?

Modernist Studies Association, 15th Annual Conference: Everydayness and the Event
University of Sussex, August 29-September 1, 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.
