CALL FOR PAPERS
NIGHTS TO REMEMBER
Memory, Modernity and the Myth of the Titanic
An international multidisciplinary conference
20/21/22/23 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 July 30
1999 to:
Millennial Titanic Conference
School of Modern Languages
University of Southampton
Southampton SO17 1BJ, UK
Organising committee: Tim Bergfelder, Pam Cook, Deniz Gokturk, Mike
Hammond, Lucy Mazdon
