change. The word “move” may refer to a change of position or location, feelings and emotions that touch individuals, and the impetus to act by making something happen. In a modernist context, these ‘moves’ call to mind the interplay between modernism as an
era of changing relations to space, the emergence of a new sense of affect, and a wider engagement with the world through writing as action.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="letter-spacing:-.15pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="letter-spacing:-.15pt">Until recently, modernist studies have tended to focus on impersonality, detachment, the apolitical, and scepticism as characteristic of modernism. Emotion or affect, when theorized, has been considered
largely in terms of feminist and queer theories as well as melancholia, mourning, and (post-war) trauma. This body of work considers the impact of marginalization and pathological states, often as ways of moving beyond prevailing ideologies. What other emotions
or affective responses might be considered? Can we see modernism as an era when the “structure of feeling,” to borrow a phrase from Raymond Williams, leads to a poetics that appeals to the passions of readers and reading communities, sometimes evoking visceral
responses? Does a modernist emphasis on the affective experience and/or aesthetic foster new or deeper forms of social knowledge, critique, and creativity?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="letter-spacing:-.15pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="letter-spacing:-.15pt">In terms of mobility and motion, the burgeoning field of transnational modernisms recognizes that socio-cultural, political, scientific, and economic factors contribute to changing spatial relations during
the modernist period. New technologies for travel and communications, the making of modern tourism, shifting trade routes, imperial and colonial (re)mappings, increased and enhanced mobility (including migration within and across national boundaries as well
as refugee movements), civil unrest and war, and the rise of globalization are among the factors that contribute to altered relations to space and place. This symposium responds to the spatial turn in modernist studies and builds on recent work in colonial
modernisms, geo-political modernisms, planetarity, globalization studies, and peripheral modernisms (J. S. Berman, Peter Brooker and Andrew Thacker, Melba Cuddy-Keane, Laura Doyle and Laura Winkiel, B. H. Edwards, S. S. Friedman, Anna Snaith and Michael H.
Whitworth, Susan Stanford Friedman, and the Warwick Research Collective).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="letter-spacing:-.15pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="letter-spacing:-.15pt">“Modernist Moves” considers affective, emotional, experiential, cognitive, and perceptual responses to a world of increased mobility and shifting relations to place/space. Speakers may wish to focus on
the multiple meanings of modernist moves or consider one or more of its concerns with (a) motion/mobility, (b) emotion/affect, and (c) impact or the potential for social transformation. Participants might also revisit the idea that modernism is apolitical
or detached from everyday life by interrogating the roles of writers, readers, and literary circulations across borders.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="letter-spacing:-.15pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="letter-spacing:-.15pt">Possible topics/questions include:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; letter-spacing: -0.15pt; "><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
