Peter Nicholls and the editorial board of Textual Practice invite readers of the journal to attend the following Conference:
In Association with the Centre for Modernist Studies, University of Sussex
CONTEMPORARY FICTION: THE LEGACIES OF MODERNISM
A Two-Day Symposium hosted by the University of Sussex, July 7-8, 2006.
The Centre for Modernist Studies at the University of Sussex will be hosting a symposium addressing the evolution of contemporary fiction in the wake of international Modernism. Over the course of two days, it will bring together some of the most prominent novelists in Britain today with leading researchers and critics who are extending the boundaries of contemporary fiction studies within the academy. The symposium will consider the ways in which the legacy of Modernism continues to assert itself in the writing, publishing and reading of novels today; in the evaluative criteria used by teachers and critics; and in the relationship between style and the social, between literary responses to contemporary multicultural environments and the aesthetic movements of Modernism and post-modernity.
Speakers to include:
Ali Smith, Maggie Gee, Abdulrazak Gurnah, Roger Luckhurst, Patricia Waugh, Andrzej Gasiorek, Peter Middleton, Tim Woods, Dominic Head.
Fees: £95 Standard Rate / £65 Concessions.
