CALL FOR PAPERS
Modernism and Madness
40th Anniversary Convention, Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA)
Feb. 26-March 1, 2009
Hyatt Regency - Boston, Massachusetts
This panel proposes to look into the ways madness and modernist literature are inter-related. More specifically, the discussion will call attention to the affinities between gender, sexuality and madness in early 20th century British and American literature and will be further extended to embrace the larger context of modernist canonicity.
Topics may include but are not limited to:
• gender and sexuality and the ways Sigmund Freud’s and Havelock Ellis’ research shaped such an affinity
• whether “high modernist” techniques are merely experimental methods or manifestations of madness
• whether madness is a mere manifestation of “the uncertainty or multiplicity” of the modernist point of view as well as a further manifestation of the “loss of significant external reality” as Louis Sass puts it
• whether we can construe texts as “mad literature”
Please submit proposals of 300-400 words as an e-mail attachment to Dr. Nephie Christodoulides (nephie@cytanet.com.cy or nephie@ucy.ac.cy) by September 15, 2008.
