A Word from the Local
Organizing Committee
A
warm bienvenue to Montréal and to the eleventh
annual Modernist Studies Association conference.
This year the conference offers 108 panels, 24
seminars, 11 roundtables, 3 plenary talks, a book
fair, a poetry reading, and other events gathered
under the conceptual aegis of the “Languages of Modernism.”
As these events suggest, the “languages” of modernism
extend to German, Spanish, French, and English, but also to
visual languages, vernaculars, the implications of
digitalization, the languages of class that govern middlebrow
and highbrow culture, the hermetic and populist languages of
poetry, animal communication, and the syntax of surrealism,
dada, vorticism, futurism, and other movements. The rich
diversity of topics on the program attests to multiple ways in
which scholars construe the meaning of “modernism” in its
early, high, or late configurations. The three plenary talks
focus on the complications of language in translation and
critical discourse. In her keynote address, Sherry Simon
examines the complexities that attend “traductologie” – the
theory of translation – as those complexities enter the poetry
of Canadian modernist, A. M. Klein. Language politics compel
the imagination in Québec; no encounter between
Anglophone and Francophone communities escapes the
political awareness of language. Walter Benn Michaels speaks
to the racial politics of language in the writings of
controversial Québec polemicist Lionel Groulx, while Susan
Stanford Friedman reflects on global languages and their
relevance to modernist studies.
The theme of this conference was suggested by our late
colleague at the Université de Montréal, Andrew John Miller.
Andrew, with his characteristic energy and generosity, was
instrumental in bringing the MSA conference to Montréal.
He originated the theme of “The Languages of Modernism.”
He undertook all negotiations with the hotel for rooms and
conference facilities. He participated in the selection of
seminars and panels for the conference, and he gave his
time and insight to logistical complications with customary
acumen and grace. On September 4, at the beginning of
the Labour Day weekend, Andrew died suddenly. His death
has been as devastating as it was unexpected. We wish to
honour Andrew for helping to bring this conference to
fruition. He was an astute negotiator, a rigorous scholar,
and a deeply valued colleague. We extend our sincere
condolences to Kate Orland Bere, his wife; his children,
Madeleine and Spenser; his family and friends; and his many
colleagues and students at the Université de Montréal.
We also wish to thank the Université de Montréal, Andrew’s
home institution, including support from the Dean of Arts
and the Département des études anglaises, as well as the
2 MSA 11 Conference Programme
Message from the
MSA President
generous financial contributions of the Office of the VicePresident of Research and the Faculty of Arts and Science at
Concordia University. At McGill University, funds were
graciously provided by the Department of English, the
Graduate Program in English, the Department of Art History
and Communication Studies, the McGill Institute for Studies
in Canada, the Dean of Arts Development Fund, Tri-Council
funding. An FQRSC team grant for a research group devoted
to “La Poétique du roman moderne: Le roman selon les
romanciers” supplied further funding.
Raising these funds required the faith of individuals: deans,
associate deans, chairs, directors, professors, coordinators,
and assistants. We wish to acknowledge, alphabetically, the
interventions of Gérard Boismenu, Jason Camlot, Graham
Carr, Nathalie Cooke, Isabelle Daunais, Kathleen Holden, Chris
Manfredi, Antonia Maioni, Liane Moyes, Gwendolyn Owens,
Ian Rae, Jonathan Sterne, and Paul Yachnin. On all matters of
accounting, great and small, Sima Dantzigian gave invaluable
counsel. Members of the MSA board, especially Members of
the MSA executive and program committees – Pamela
Caughie, Sean Latham, Pericles Lewis, Victoria Rosner, and
Rebecca Walkowitz – offered invaluable and timely advice.
Even as he finished his dissertation, Matt Huculak generously
put together the website and answered a thousand queries
about how to run a conference. As she has done at previous
conferences, Dee Morris helped coordinate the book exhibit.
Patrice Atwell designed the program and talked us through
the multiple stages of creating an intelligible identity for the
conference. Three assistants contributed to every aspect of
planning: Emily Essert, Rachel Kyne, and Justin Pfefferle.
We would have been lost without their day-to-day help with
the logistics of generating lists and answering email. The
staff at the Hôtel Delta Centre-Ville have accommodated our
many wishes; we thank Johnny Buteau, Nathalie Julien and
Guylaine Richard for their tireless patience.
F
or the last eleven years, the Modernist Studies
Association has served as a lively site of
exchange among those who study and teach
the diverse arts, literatures, and cultures of
modernity. At its annual conferences and in the
pages of Modernism/modernity, MSA has fomented new
approaches to the aesthetic revolution we call
modernism while simultaneously testing the limits of
that term and thus expanding the boundaries of the
field itself. The program you hold in your hand for “The
Languages of Modernism” bristles with insight and
contention, creativity and innovation. It is one of the
largest conferences MSA has yet organized and also
among the most selective – a testament to the ongoing
vigor of the debates that have so occupied us over
the last decade.
Organizing a conference like this requires a phenomenal
amount of cooperative work, and I want to extend the
organization’s special thanks to those who have
committed so much of their time and energy to us.
Rebecca Walkowitz, Pericles Lewis, and Victoria Rosner
formed our Program Committee, working with local
organizers to assemble the 150 panels, seminars, and
roundtables that will take place over the next four days.
The hard work of organizing the event itself was
generously undertaken by a dedicated team drawn from
three different universities. Allan Hepburn, Miranda
Hickman, and Omri Moses have juggled everything from
hotel contracts to catering menus. When you see these
people, make sure to offer them your special thanks. I
also want to thank Alta Anthony at Johns Hopkins
University Press and Karen Tiefenworth at Johns Hopkins
University, the administrators who arranged for payments
and kept our books in order.
Sadly, this year’s conference takes place amidst a
shocked sense of mourning felt deeply by all those
involved with this event. On the fourth of September,
Andrew Miller, one of the local conference organizers,
died suddenly of a heart attack. It was Andrew who
first proposed bringing the MSA to Montreal, and
he worked tirelessly on everything from the program
to the hotel contract. We feel his aching, impossible
absence and I hope you will take a moment to
remember him amidst this event he helped make
possible.
Thanks to the commitment of members like Andrew
and the other organizers, MSA continues to thrive.
New conferences have already been scheduled
for Victoria (2010) and Buffalo (2011). As I hope you
have seen, we have also recently launched a newly
designed website, initiated a membership drive,
created a Facebook page, and begun to devise ways
of using social media to improve the services we make
available to members. If you have ideas about where
the organization might be headed or questions
about where we are, I urge you to take a moment
to talk with a board member here in Montreal.
Welcome to MSA XI.
SEAN L ATHAM
MSA President
We wish, lastly, to thank Sean Latham, president of the MSA
in 2008-09, for his thoughtfulness. As a previous organizer
of the MSA in Tulsa, he had an intimate grasp of the many
aspects of coordinating the conference. Even with his many
commitments, Sean was always available to give steadying
advice and encouragement. We are grateful for his
leadership and tact.
We hope that everyone derives as much enjoyment from the
conference as we have from the process of planning it.

“…offers a much-needed, high-quality

approach to modernist studies. Exploring
periodicals as well-known as Poetry or The

BENJAMIN ROBINSON
“Robinson’s book is one of the most
interesting and provocative reconsiderations of
Socialism and socialist
culture to date. Its
achievement lies primarily in using the historical
distance to think of
socialist culture not as a
failed experiment, but as
a case study about the fundamental problem of social change.”

University of Bonn

TIMOTHY YU
“With Race and the Avant-Garde,
Timothy Yu goes an
extraordinarily long way
toward overcoming the
historical divorce between
the ‘aesthetic’ and the
‘ethnic’. Treating the rise
of Asian American
poetry and Language
poetry in light of each
other, Yu illustrates the indelible presence
of race in experimental writing and the
constitutive role of form in ethnic
writing.”

RAVIT REICHMAN
“We abide within a legal culture; the
scene of our existence is
formed by law. Yet much
in our experience seems
to elude accounting by
law’s processes and languages. With passion and
erudition, in readings as
agile as they are original,
Ravit Reichman reveals
how a sense of this incongruity has itself
shaped modern letters, modern law, and
modern life.”

JOSEF FRÜCHTL Translated by
SARAH L. KIRKBY
“Much negative (and sometimes positive)
excitement was triggered
by a pseudo-philosophical
phrase about ‘the Death of
the Subject’ during the
final decades of the 20th
century. Today, we tend to
see similar transformations
in the ways that humans
think and speak about
themselves, in more sober—and sometimes even more sarcastic—terms. If
Gianni Vattimo’s ‘weak Subject’ functioned for a long time as a modest alternative to a discourse of self-reflexive negativity, Josef Früchtl’s Impertinent Self
now offers a both realistic and entertaining option of Nietzschean flavor. His
combination of profound scholarship and
intellectual provocation will certainly
appeal to the American reader.”
—Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht,

Legal Modernism and the

MICHAEL ROTHBERG
“This is the first book to take up the
transnational and crossdisciplinary politics of
memory in ways adequate to the difficulties
and pitfalls of the topic.
In its readings of theoretical and literary texts
primarily from the
1950s and 1960s, it
confronts the Holocaust with decolonization, successfully questioning the ‘color
line’ separating these two discourses
today. Deft in argument and subtle in its
analyses, Rothberg’s book provides an
exciting new direction for memory studies
in the humanities and in social thought. A
compelling read!”

“Stephen Fredman’s Contextual Practice
provides an in-depth
exploration of cultural and
aesthetic contexts shared
by poets Robert Duncan,
Robert Creeley and Denise
Leverotov, filmmaker
Harry Smith, philosopher
Norman O. Brown, and
artist Wallace Berman and
the circle around his seminal Semina
magazine. Fredman has written a brilliant
treatise on the poetics of collage in the
New American poetry. And he puts his
theories into practice with his exemplary
use of contingent juxtapositions of a precisely ordered constellation of examples.”

“The research contained in American
Bohemias is impeccable,
indeed, extraordinary. It
will make an important
contribution to late
nineteenth and early
twentieth-century US literary studies. The arguments the book offers
are smart, and make us
look at familiar questions—the relation
between bohemian and bourgeois, the
consolidation and reticulation of middleclass culture, and many more—in a new
and more complex light.”

IN MEMORIAM
ANDREW JOHN MILLER
(1959-2009)
MSA 11 CO-ORGANIZER
Andrew John Miller, a professor of English in the Départment d’études anglaises at the Université de Montréal,
died suddenly on September 4, 2009. Dr. Miller (MA, Queen’s University; PhD, Duke University)
was the author of Modernism and the Crisis of Sovereignty (Routledge, 2008).
The Modernist Studies Association extends its deepest condolences to Andrew’s family, friends,
colleagues, and students. Andrew was a major force behind bringing the MSA to Montréal this year.
We remember and honour his generosity, intellectual rigor, energy, and graciousness.
Dawn points, and another day
Prepares for heat and silence. Out at sea the dawn wind
Wrinkles and slides. I am here
Or there, or elsewhere. In my beginning.
— T. S. ELIOT, “EAST COKER”
