CFP: Clipping Services and Modernism (Modernist Studies Conference - October 2006)

CFP: Clipping Services and Modernism (Modernist Studies Conference - October 2006)

For the 8th Modernist Studies Conference in Tulsa (October 19-22, 2006) I am looking for papers for a session on the surprisingly energetic involvement with clipping services by modernist writers. What can clipping services tell us about modernism and individual
modernist writers? How did writers use clipping services? What does the use of clipping services reveal about modernist relations to mass culture? What kinds of knowledge do these archives reveal? What potential for research is there?

Please send a maximum 500-word abstract by April 21 to Len Diepeveen
(Leonard.Diepeveen@Dal.Ca).
