Hellenism/Modernism
Special Issue: Agora
http://www.humanities.ualberta.ca/agora

::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Deadline: January 15, 2005

The editors of Agora seek papers that examine the relationship between
Modernism and Hellenism. The topic of Hellenism and the Arts in the
Twentieth Century has been a rising area of scholarly interest, ranging from
broad studies such as Roessel's recent In *Byron's Shadow* and Keeley's
*Inventing Paradise* to author-specific works like Gregory's *H.D. and
Hellenism* or Schork's *Greek and Hellenic Culture in Joyce*. Authors as
diverse as Hemingway and H.D. or Conrad and Cohen have all found significant
inspiration through an engagement with their Philhellenic interests.
Moreover, given the prominence of Said's *Orientalism* over the past
twenty-five years, analysis of Hellenism as a discourse is particularly
welcomed. We encourage works with a postcolonial or colonial focus and aim
for this issue to address a prominent gap in scholarship——studies of
Modernism have largely endorsed the importance of postcolonial readings, yet
Hellenism's role as a defining discourse primarily conducted by foreign
powers remains understudied.

Submissions may address any aspect of Hellenism or Philhellenism in
conjunction with Modernist arts and letters. Papers that take advantage of
the electronic medium are encouraged, though authors are responsible for
arranging rights for materials for which they do not hold copyright. Authors
might consider, but are not limited to:

• popular culture materials related to or
  representing Greece
• Modernist circles based in Greece or centred
  around Greek authors
• Hellenism as an academic discourse with
  political and artistic implications
• tourism and cultural commodities
• travel literature
• emigrant/immigrant literature
• the Greek diaspora
• Hellenic locales and centres outside of
  Greece

Please direct enquiries and submissions to the editors of this special
issue, Beatrice Skordili <bskordil_at_otenet.gr> and James Gifford
<gifford_at_ualberta.ca>, or <agora_at_mail.arts.ualberta.ca>.
