4th Annual Conference of the Modernist Studies Association

October 31 - November 3, 2002

 

Cognitive Approaches to the Study of Modernism:

The goal of this panel is to initiate a discussion of the multiple ways in which recent theories of cognition can open up literary modernism to new readers and new insights while providing substantive support for already existing views of modernism. More specifically, a cognitive approach to the production and reception of literary modernism reveals that many modern writers were practicing cognitivists long before the emergence of detailed theories which help to validate their aesthetic strategies. Using recent cognitive theory, it is possible to work back through and evaluate aspects of modernism that have remained unexplored or mischaracterised for over seventy years. Any papers that address these or related issues are welcome.

Email 250 word paper proposals and CVs by 20 April.

Participants must be members of the Modernist Studies Association by the time of the conference.
