is partnering with the recently formed Feminist inter/Modernist Association
(FiMA) to provide a unique opportunity to forge deeper connections within our
research and pedagogy. By combining the mission of each society, we unite in
the hopes of rethinking and producing new intersections in scholarship of the
WWI, interwar, and WWII periods, especially as they uncover the rich vein of
feminist practices across the space between. Central to our conversations at
the conference will be this question:</span></p>
<p class="m_-4030945783174466100m_5360420428129724419gmail-FreeFormA" style="line-height:16pt"><i><span style="font-family:Optima">What
becomes possible for our understanding of the cultural productions of the space
between and of feminist intermodernisms when we begin to look at how various
forms of resistance intersect?</span></i><span style="font-family:Optima"></span></p>
<p class="m_-4030945783174466100m_5360420428129724419gmail-FreeFormA" style="line-height:16pt"><span style="font-family:Optima">Shifts in the world’s political climate have
energized humans to re-imagine structures of power that oppress, silence, and
immobilize. Those who cultivate communities where diversity, inclusivity, and
civil discourse thrive, unite under the term “resistance” to rally against
forces that seek to neutralize differences and impose restrictions on civil
liberties. Yet, as a term, an idea, and a practice, “resistance” requires
critical inquiry. Resistance does not always suggest overhaul or revolution,
but rather, invites ways in which existing structures might be reconfigured to
make space for multiple voices. Culture makers of the interwar period critiqued
the values of both antagonists that led to the ambiguous causes, goals, and
unnecessary human losses of WWI. By contrast, writers of WWII called for
the activation of humanistic values to defeat the Axis powers' unambiguous goal
of global conquest. Resistance is now back in significant ways, and carries
cultural capital that is rich for analysis in our scholarship, our teaching,
and our everyday actions.</span></p>
