Modernisms in Conversation

NUI Galway has a growing research community working on diverse aspects of modernist fiction, drama, periodical culture, and essays. We are proud to welcome Moore Institute visiting fellow Prof Sara Crangle, who will speak about her work on Mina Loy, and respond to papers by NUI Galway researchers. In this way we will gain a broad insight into the work being conducted on modernism in our university, and create a dialogue in the session between its participants, and between them and the audience.

The papers and speakers will be:

Mina Loy’s Sentimental Contraband – Prof. Sara Crangle (English, University of Sussex)

Modern Drama and the Rise of European Fascism: The Theatre of Gabriele D’Annunzio, Luigi Pirandello and W. B. Yeats – Zsuzsi Balázs (Drama, Theatre and Performance)

Flux in Fixity: Literary Modernism’s Media Theory and Revisionary Technique – Tiana Fischer (English)

Fluffy Ruffles: Debating, reproducing, and fashioning the American New Woman – Gaby Fletcher (English)

F.R. Higgins, Daniel Corkery and ‘Minor’ Literature – Eoghan Ryan (English)

Recovering Yeats’s performance texts: composition in the manuscripts of At the Hawk’s Well – Melinda Szűts (Drama, Theatre and Performance)

As always, all are welcome to continue the conversation in McGinn’s afterwards!
