CFP for Special Issue: Modernist Poetry and Visual Culture

1/11/2021

0 Comments

 
Opportunity possibly of interest to Jones scholars. From the journal website: 

"This Special Issue focuses on relationships between modernist poetry and visual culture. Recent scholarship exploring the emergence of twentieth-century forces of modernity increasingly recognizes the rapid dominance of new technologies and diverse varieties of visual culture infusing the “modern”. How might we think of modernist and avant-garde poetics in relation to the proliferation of visual means of expression, consumerism, information, entertainment, fashion, protest, and other modes of modern existence? How are modernist forms and poetic genres attenuated by visual culture and its technologies, circuits, and values? How are received ideas about modernist poetry enriched, challenged, and/or revised when read through the lens of visual culture?The following questions offer potential directions for essays linking modernist poetry and visual culture, although other topics are welcome.
Modernist Poetry and Visual Culture
  • How might collaborations between modernist poetry/poets and visual culture/practitioners be traced, analyzed, and/or recovered as important forms of modernist practice?
  • How do modernist poetic forms engage a distinctively visual poetics of the page, typography, etc.?
  • How can the historicizing of visual culture provide a lens for reading modernist poetry?
  • How have modernist poets been interested in visual culture?
  • What representational questions are raised through intersections of poetry and visual culture, and/or through print and visual culture?
  • How do visual economies of race, circulating in and by forms of visual culture, place pressure upon and/or inform modernist poetries?
  • How does poetry register or contemplate or react to the increasing dominance of the “image” in visual culture?
  • How are modernist poets reacting to gendered dynamics particular to forms of visual culture?
  • How is modernist poetry shaped in relationship to technologies of visual culture?
  • How are modes of perception and representation aligned with aspects of modernity?
  • What contexts and processes of a visually attenuated popular culture can be said to activate modernist poetry?
  • How might we theorize modern poetry in relation to influences of/intersections with/pressures from visual culture?
  • How do visual genres and/or print histories of poetry arise within forces of modernity?
  • How does modernist poetry draw upon and/or interact with visual modalities of protest and critique?
  • What role do little magazines and periodicals play in shaping relationships of modernist poetry and visual culture?
  • What understandings of innovation and experiment emerge in attending to relations of poetry with visual culture—in terms of representational practices, technologies, forms, dissemination, etc.?
Abstracts of 150–200 words, along with 150–200-word bios, should be submitted by 31 August 2021. Completed articles of 5000–7000 words should be submitted by 1 March 2022.  Inquiries welcome and should be directed to Linda Kinnahan <kinnahan@duq.edu>."
