Disciplining Modernism [Hardcover]

A Poiret dress, a Catholic shrine in France, Thomas Wallis's Hoover Factory building, an Edna Manley sculpture, the poetry of Bei Dao, the internal combustion engine- what makes such artifacts modernist? Disciplining Modernism explores the different ways disciplines conceive modernism and modernity, undisciplining modernist studies in the process.Acknowledgments List of Illustrations Notes on Contributors Introduction; P.L.Caughie Definitional Excursions: The Meanings of Modern/Modernity/Modernism; S.S.Friedman Uncanny Modernism, Or Analysis Interminable; S.Ross Imagining World Literatures: Modernism and Comparative Literature; J.Berman Taking the Detour, Finding the Rebels: Crossroads of Caribbean and Modernist Studies; M.L.Emery Some Thoughts on Religion and Modernity: The Case of the Lourdes Shrine in Nineteenth-Century France; S.K.Kaufman Balzac's Golden Triangles in the Colonial Genealogies of French Modernism; L.Constable Modern, Moderne and Modernistic: Le Corbusier, Thomas Wallis and the Problem of Art Deco; B.Elliott Fantasies of the New Class: New Criticism, Harvard Sociology, and the Idea of the University; S.Schryer Downsizing the Great Divide : A Reflexive Approach to Modernism, Disciplinarity, and Class; L.Cucullu Lady Chatterley's Broker: The Irresistible Rise of Modernist Capitalism; J.Rose Modernism, Economics, Anthropology; G.Willmott Modernist Studies and Anthropology: Reflections on the Past, Present, and Possible Futures; M.Manganaro The Famished Roar of Automobiles: Modernity, the Internal Combustion Engine, and Modernism; G.Leonard The Mass Production of the Senses: Classical Cinema as Vernacular Modernism; M.B.Hansen Afterword; S.S.Friedman Works Cited IndexJESSICA BERMAN Associate Professor and Chair of English, University of Maryland, Baltimore County, USALIZ CONSTABLE Associate Professor of French, University of California-Davis, USALOIS CUCULLU Associate Professor of English, University of Minnesota, USABRIDGET ELLIOTT Professor of Visual”
