twentieth century and beyond

The Henry James Society seeks proposals on the MMLA  conference theme of “Duality, Doubles and Doppelgänger” as it relates to the life and/or works of Henry James.

The conference will be held in Chicago on November 14-17, 2019.

 Topics could include, but are by no means limited to:

W.B. Yeats’ 1919 paradigmatic claim that “things fall apart, the centre cannot hold” encapsulates the twentieth-century fascination with figuring and conceptualizing the inevitability of instability and the certainty of entropy. For this panel, we are seeking papers on modernisms or modernist studies that dwell in the crumbling center. Approaches may include an investigation of:

            Decay

            Decline 

Decomposition

            Ephemerality

            Exhaustion

            Fragmentation

            Half-lives

            Ruins
