DESCRIPTION:Northern Modernism Seminar: A Research Day with Susan Stanfor
 d Friedman\n\nMasterclass (open to all MA and PhD students\, NWCDTP) \n\
 n‘A Manifesto for Planetarity and Its Discontents’\n\nSuggested Reading 
 (e-mail daniela.caselli@manchester.ac.uk for pdfs):  “Planetarity\,” Cha
 pter 2 of Planetary Modernisms\; “A Debate with Myself\,” Conclusion of 
 Planetary Modernisms. The focus of the seminar will be debates about the
  “transnational turn” in modernist studies. What do the expansions of th
 e field mean for doctoral students wanting to enter the field? How can t
 hey design planetary projects that participate in expansive approaches a
 nd yet are focused enough to complete? Does a planetary approach open do
 ors for new kinds of comparative work not centered in the conventional c
 anons of “high modernism”? Or Is this planetarity an imperialist gesture
  that sidelines postcolonial studies or ignores the “postmodern” or “con
 temporary”? Chapter 2 of Planetary Modernisms is a slightly modified ver
 sion of “Planetarity: Musing Modernist Studies\,” first an MSA keynote (
 2009) and then an article in Modernism/modernity (2010). “A Debate with 
 Myself” was written in an experimentally dialogic form to reflect the on
 going debates I have about the new expansiveness of the field and the ra
 nge of problems such planetarity raises.
