        CALL FOR PAPERS:

        NIGHTS TO REMEMBER:
        MEMORY, MODERNITY AND THE MYTH OF THE TITANIC

        An international multidisciplinary conference

        20-23 July 2000
        University of Southampton

        The Titanic is a monumental icon of the twentieth century that
has
        inspired, and continues to inspire, a wealth of representations
across
        national boundaries, and across the arts.  Southampton itself is
a key
        location in the great ship's journey, and offers a rich source
of local
        history.

        The conference aims to link the local experience with the global
myth,
        bringing together scholarship in Film and Media, Music, Art
History,
        Cultural Studies, Literary Studies, Theatre Studies and History
on the
        subject of the cultural meanings of the Titanic. We welcome
papers
        on any aspect of the myth, but these are some of the areas we
would like
        to explore:

        *Shared memory: the Titanic as transnational phenomenon
        *History, memorabilia and mourning
        *Apocalypse and survival: class, gender, ethnicity
        *Technologies, history and modernity
        *Music, sound and memory
        *Cultural meanings of disaster
        *Special effects, spectacle and narrative

        Proposals (no more than 300 words please) should be sent by
September 1,
        1999 to:

        Millenial Titanic Conference
        School of Modern Languages
        University of Southampton
        Southampton SO17 1BJ
        UK
