Agenda

"The Making of Expatriates: Cultural Flows and Adaptability" explores the concept of modernism in conjunction with the theme of our  Department (DSLCC)'s Progetto di Eccellenza: adaptation/adaptability. The idea is to take the current crises in European culture and politics as frames for rethinking how modernism engaged with such issues a century ago; and reciprocally to explore how the resources of modernism can contribute to today's debates. This one-day symposium is designed to mark the launch of a new research network, The European Modernist Union (EMU), which represents a collaboration with the Centre for Modernist Cultures, University of Birmingham (UK).

With the collaboration of Centre for Modernist Cultures, University of Birmingham (UK)
