1914-1945

TECHNOLOGY, MEDIA, AND CULTURE IN THE SPACE BETWEEN, 1914-1945.

Submissions are invited for the seventh Annual Conference of The Space =
Between: Literature and Culture, 1914-1945, at McGill University, =
Montreal, Quebec, Canada, May 27-29, 2005.

Beginning with the mass mechanization of the Great War, the period =
through World War II catapulted people into a new kind of modernity. New
=
technologies and media conjured up both awesome and frightful fantasies
=
and realities in the creative and critical imaginations of artists, =
scientists, producers, consumers, and critics.  Technology and media =
excited and threatened domestic and international politics and =
challenged members of popular and elite cultures to reconfigure =
relationships between selfhood, society, and the object world. 

This interdisciplinary conference will explore the manifestations, =
effects, and representations of the new technologies of the 1914-1945 =
period. Considering this distinct period in twentieth century history =
will offer crucial perspectives and insights on the significance of =
visual and auditory technologies, designed and built technologies, =
technologies of the body, technologies of flight, speed and =
simultaneity, technologies of production, technologies of social =
engineering. We are particularly interested in exploring the cultural =
relationships that emerge as the roles of the media and technology shape
=
each other in our Space Between.

Possible topics include, but should not be limited to, the following:
- --Technologies of media
- --Textuality and technology
- --Cultural responses to mass media
- --Extensions and mediations of the body
- --Medical and reproductive technologies
- --Technology and economies
- --Technology/media and psychology
- --Propaganda and design
- --Designs for living
- --War, weaponry, and art
- --The machine aesthetic
- --Technology/media and constructions of nation, gender and class
- --Technology/media and democracy, fascism, and communism
- --Resistance through and/or to media and technology

Please send 300 word abstracts or 10 page double-spaced 12 pt. font =
papers by January 15, 2005 to =
robin.feenstra@mail.mcgill.ca. E-mail submissions are preferred, but =
hard copy proposals may be sent to: Robin Feenstra, Dept. of English, =
McGill University, Arts Building, 853 Sherbrooke Street West, Montreal,
=
Quebec, Canada H3A 2T6.

The Space Between Society is dedicated to the study of literature and =
culture between the wars, providing an interdisciplinary forum for =
discussion and research on overlooked texts, understudied authors, and =
new approaches to traditionally canonical texts.  It also encourages =
fresh examination of art, society, and culture illuminating the war and
=
interwar period.  For information about our journal and membership in =
The Space Between, please visit our website: =
