This is a repeat for some lists, new posting for others. If you have already seen this CFP, PLEASE NOTE May 15, 1997 is the new due date for abstracts. There is still time to submit. CALL FOR PAPERS BANG, BOOM, BUST AND BANG (AGAIN) THE SPACE BETWEEN: PRECURSORS AND AFTERMATHS, 1920 - 1945 This interdisciplinary conference will focus on "the space between," the period in time defined by the book-ends of World Wars I and II. Appropriate topics will include, but will not be limited to, ways in which literary and historical movements such as Futurism, Modernism, The Roaring Twenties, The Great Depression, the rise of Facism, and Isolationism as well as the World Wars are reflected in the texts of the times. Papers will be solicited in such fields as European and American art, film studies, history, literature, modern languages and philosophy. Of special interest are such fields as the rise of genre fiction, war literature, women's studies, ethnic and diversity literature, and critical approaches which utilize new historicism, feminism, and cultural studies. We are also interested in papers which offer current critical interpretations of the ways in which these events reflect causalities; i.e., in what ways does World War I shape not only the rise of Facism but World War II as well, or in what ways does the disillusionment of the Great War shape the literature of both the Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression.
