Panel Title: Modernism’s Revolutionary Geographies*

*This panel is for MSA 17 Boston.  The theme of MSA 17 is “Modernism and
Revolution.”  The conference general CFP can be accessed here
http://msa.press.jhu.edu/conferences/msa17/CFP.html


Building on the recent “spatial turn” in the humanities exemplified by
scholars such as Andrew Thacker in *Moving through Modernity: Space and
Geography in Modernism *(2003) and Rebecca Walsh in *The Geopoetics of
Modernism *(2015), and in keeping with the conference theme of revolution,
this panel considers modernism’s innovative contributions to the ontology
and perception of urban space, focusing particularly on counter-normative
cartographies and deviant spatial practices.  Modernist authors and visual
artists often revolutionized, challenged, or resisted normative geographies
and mapping practices through their texts. The papers included seek to
address such moments of geographical tension or subversive spatial play
within Modernist texts, emphasizing ground-level experiences of cities.
The papers will address questions such as: If space and geography are, in
fact, central to modernist aesthetics, then how do authors and/or artists
transform spatial concepts and geographical landscapes?  And what role do
re-mappings, subversive appropriations, and/or deviant spatial practices
play within modernist texts?  This panel hopes to be interdisciplinary and
welcomes paper topics in literature, the visual and performing arts,
architecture and urban planning, theory, and philosophy.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:


-Urban sub-cultures/counter-spaces; liminal urban space; deviant spatial
practices; revisionist/resistant cartographies;

·        -Guidebook/tourist discourse and urban space;

·       -Flânerie; urban walks; street politics; street harassment;

·      - Urban technologies and modernist mappings; white space / page
space versus physical space;

·       -transatlantic mappings and/or migrations; expatriations,
repatriation, homelands, exiles, pilgrimages;

·       -geography/geology and modernism; the periodization of modernism
and space: time and space in modernity;  the evolution of space and/or maps
through modernism(s) (space at the limits--temporally and otherwise--of
modernism); Jane Jacobs, Robert Moses, Samuel Delany: mapping the
inheritance of modernism
