 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.
