Upheaval & Reconstruction | October 17 – 20, 2019 | MSATORONTO2019.ORG 3
Introduction from the Local Hosting Committee
From the Boer War to the Great War, and from the Russo-Japanese conflict to the Amritsar Massacre and anti-colonial uprisings, modernism and modernity are shaped by processes of upheaval and reconstruction. While modernism is often treated as an artistic and literary movement characterized by conflict, violence, and despair, it nonetheless strove towards renewed hope and positive transformation. At the centenary of the 1919 peace conference, the Modernist Studies Association (MSA) Toronto 2019 Conference invites considerations on the processes of upheaval and reconstruction, and prompts reexaminations of modernism and modernity at various times and across global spaces.
We are excited to be introducing for the first time ever a new style of session made up of individual paper proposals, allowing for enhanced flexibility within the MSA conference space. By appealing to an international audience, encouraging interdisciplinary submissions, and inviting participants at all stages of their academic careers to collaborate together, we hope to increase the diversity of responses and voices featured at this year’s conference. The success of this endeavour can be measured by the large number of responses we received, which also highlight the interest and importance of our two special streams: Indigeneity and Making Modernism in/out of Canada. We look forward to helping facilitate these exciting and timely discussions between our delegates.
This year’s MSA Conference was made possible because of the enthusiasm and dedication of our Local Organizing Committee. We are grateful to the Modern Literature and Culture (MLC) Research Centre for hosting the event and for the long-term support provided by the MLC Team, including Laura Cameron, Cameron MacDonald, Jaclyn Marcus, and Gabriela Will, and our conference volunteers. We thank Ray Yabuta for visioning and building the website and Alex Christie, the MSA webmaster who provided feedback on all matters large and small; Rebecca Walsh, the MSA Program Committee Chair who oversaw the adjudication and formation of this program; MSA Finance Chair Allan Hepburn, whose expertise was vital in helping us keep everything organized and on budget; and Celia Marshik, the MSA President.
The Modernist Studies Association (MSA) Toronto 2019 Conference is hosted by Ryerson University’s Modern Literature and Culture (MLC) Research Centre, in collaboration with the University of Toronto, York University, and OCAD University (formerly the Ontario College of Art and Design). We thank our sponsors, notably our lead sponsor, Ryerson University, for generous support.

Message from the MSA President
When the local organizers and MSA board began contemplating the theme of “Upheaval and Reconstruction,” the concepts seemed a logical way to frame over a century’s worth of war, migration, struggle, and rebuilding. A hundred years after the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, and on the verge of the centenary of the League of Nations, 2019 provides a moment to reflect on the wars and peaces of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries—to think about the losses and the faithful repairs, the disruptions and the effort to build anew. No one could have anticipated how very apropos the conference theme would also seem for our own time: climate change, Brexit, American politics in the age of Trump, protests in Hong Kong, ongoing crisis in the humanities and in higher education generally, and so on. We live in upheaval even as we gather to reflect on the same, and we contemplate reconstruction even as we wonder how to instigate it for ourselves.
Our meeting in Toronto offers multiple opportunities to engage with one another, the city, and its residents on these and other questions. You’ll find provocation and stimulation in ninety-six panels, twenty-six seminars, twenty-two roundtables, seven pre- and post-conference workshops, two “What Are You Reading?” sessions, and five digital exhibits. Toronto is a culturally diverse city with numerous modernist routes and resources, and while we anticipate you’ll explore some of what it has to offer, we also hope you’ll spend much of your time in the meeting rooms of the Chelsea Hotel. In addition to numerous sessions organized by our members, the conference offers two plenaries. The first, Friday’s lecture by Dr. Richard Cavell, will address our theme through the lens of modernism and remediation. The second, a Saturday roundtable featuring Christine Bold, Jill Carter, Elizabeth Harney, and Riley Kucheran, will offer a discussion of Indigenous Modernisms, which is also a special stream running through the conference program. In addition to joining us for these plenaries and attending sessions of special interest, let me make a plea that you pick at least one panel, roundtable, or exhibit you might not ordinarily attend and make a point of being in the audience. At any conference, it’s easy to be caught up by hearing speakers you know and attending panels on your current research project, but as members of a scholarly community, it’s important to meet newcomers, to support conversations about unfamiliar topics, and to learn something completely new.
As you experience what is certain to be a vibrant and engaging four days, please look for our Toronto hosts and give them your thanks for the years of effort that culminate in this conference. Our deepest gratitude goes to the Local Organizing Committee of Irene Gammel (Ryerson), Melba Cuddy-Keane (U Toronto), Jim Drobnick (OCAD), and Adam Hammond (U Toronto) as well as to the members of their Academic Advisory Committee. We are also thankful for the support of the Modern Literature and Culture Research Centre team including Laura Cameron, Cameron MacDonald, Jaclyn Marcus, and Gabriela Will, and the other graduate assistants, and we thank Ryerson University for its financial support which made this meeting possible. Finally, Rebecca Walsh, MSA’s Program Chair, and the members of the Program Committee deserve our gratitude. This conference requires all hands on deck, and we would not be here without labor that was as unstinting as it was unseen.
Upheaval & Reconstruction | October 17 – 20, 2019 | MSATORONTO2019.ORG 5
The annual MSA conference is also the occasion for the meeting of the board, which has much to celebrate this year. We’ve awarded five scholarships to the 2019 Digital Humanities Summer Institute, ten Research Travel Grants, and forty Conference Travel Grants. As is MSA’s practice, most of these funds went to graduate students, early career researchers, and to those who have no institutional support for their academic work; please watch your email (and MSA’s social media channels) for future calls for applications. 2019 book prizes—the MSA Book prize, MSA Book Prize for an Edition, Anthology, or Essay Collection, and the MSA First Book Prize—will be announced at Thursday night’s reception. Thanks to Sanja Bahun, Loren Glass, and Brian Glavey for chairing these three committees as well as to the other members, who immersed themselves in countless books over the summer. The membership has also elected two new board members: on Sunday, Lisa Mendelman will step into the Treasurer’s role, and Janine Utell will become Second Vice President. At the same time, Matt Hart will become President, and Bill Maxwell will become First Vice President. Moreover, Chris Bush has become senior editor of Modernism/modernity and we’ve recently welcomed a new junior editor: Anne Fernald, who is already up to her elbows in submissions and readers reports. These individuals join several seasoned board members who will continue in their current roles: Laura Heffernan (Interdisciplinary Approaches), Marius Hentea (International Relations), Erin Templeton (Membership & Elections), Alex Christie (Technology & Infrastructure), and Rebecca Walsh (Program). I am thankful that MSA has such a strong team guiding the association into 2020; if you are at this conference, you are enjoying the fruits of their hard work.
MSA and M/m will be in terrific hands under this leadership; at the same time, we offer our thanks to a few people who have devoted immense energy and untold hours to the association and the journal. Laura Winkiel is rotating off the board after serving a year as Past President, and Allan Hepburn is retiring his ledger and checkbook after a valiant term as Treasurer. Finally, Debra Rae Cohen has stepped down after five years as editor of Modernism/modernity, a term that brought us the Print Plus Platform, which received the 2019 PROSE Award for Innovation in Journal Publishing from the Association of American Publishers. If you see Debra Rae in the halls, please thank her for her untiring labor on behalf of everything (and everyone) the journal publishes. Modernism/modernity is a better journal as a result of her dedication and imagination.
It’s a pleasure to write that we have conference venues secured for the next three years: we’ll be in Brooklyn in October 2020, Chicago in 2021, and Portland in 2022. Please plan to join us, and if you’ll be at the MLA convention in January, we’d love to see you at MSA’s sponsored session “Modernist Indigeneity in the World” (session 534). Finally, if you’ve read me this far, please consider what you can do to support MSA if this is an organization and conference you value. We are always looking for future conference sites, board members, book prize judges, and others to assist in our annual operations. We’d love to have your assistance!

Dr. Richard Cavell, Professor of English at the University of British Columbia, is a media theorist and Canadian studies scholar whose work focuses on spatial theory, media studies, and their interdisciplinary relations. Mentored by acclaimed media scholar Marshall McLuhan, Cavell is the author of several influential books, including McLuhan in Space: A Cultural Geography (University of Toronto Press, 2002), Remediating McLuhan (Amsterdam University Press, 2016), and the collection On the Nature of Media: Essays by Marshall McLuhan (Gingko Press, 2016), alongside publications such as Friedman House (ORO Editions, 2017) and the critical performance works Speechsong: The Gould/Schoenberg Dialogues (Punctum Press, 2019) and Marinetti Dines with the High Command (Guernica Press, 2014). Dr. Cavell is the founder of the International Canadian Studies Center at UBC, a founding member of the Canadian Association for Cultural Studies, and co-founder of the UBC Media Studies Program. Dr. Cavell’s keynote focuses on the theme of “upheaval and reconstruction” in order to interrogate the relationship of modernity and remediation.
Saturday, October 19 | 1:45 PM – 3:00 PM Keynote Roundtable: Indigenous Modernisms Churchill Ballroom
Christine Bold, professor at Guelph University, poses the question of who contributed to popular culture in modernity and who was credited for its creation, revealing the hidden role of Indigenous performers, specifically on vaudeville stages. She received a 2018 Killam Fellowship to complete a book on the topic entitled Indigenous Modernities: The Secret History of Vaudeville, 1880s–1930s.
Jill Carter, Anishinaabe/Ashkenazi assistant professor at the Centre for Drama, Theatre, and Performance Studies; the Transitional Year Programme; and the Indigenous Studies Program at the University of Toronto. Her scholarly research, creative projects, and activism are built upon ongoing relationships with Indigenous Elders, scholars, youth, artists, and activists positioning her as witness to, participant in, and disseminator of oral histories that speak to the application of Indigenous aesthetic principles and traditional knowledge systems to contemporary performance.
Elizabeth Harney, associate professor of Art History at the University of Toronto, researches the politics of exhibition, postcolonial theory, and global modernism, with a focus on African art and marginalized creators within the modernist canon. Her many publications and curatorial practices analyze the ways in which contemporary artists can help re-examine the archive of modernity.
Riley Kucheran, Ojibway fashion researcher, community activist, and 2019 Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation Scholar. He has served as the first Indigenous Advisor in the Yeates School of Graduate Studies at Ryerson University, taught at Lakehead University, and has accepted a position as assistant professor in the School of Fashion at Ryerson University. His research examines clothing and colonization, contemporary Indigenous fashion design, and the role of entrepreneurship in Indigenous cultural and economic resurgence.

Florine Stettheimer: New Directions in Multimodal Modernism Book Launch 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM MLC Gallery, 111 Gerrard Street East
Modernism’s greatest “outlier” Florine Stettheimer (1871-1944) cultivated a boldly interdisciplinary practice that was its own sustained “upheaval and reconstruction” spanning more than 30 years. Her multimodal innovations attracted such luminaries as Marcel Duchamp, Georgia O’Keefe, and Andy Warhol. This new collection of essays theorizes, engages, and situates Stettheimer’s contributions to art history and illustrates the aesthetic genealogy of her vision and its influence through to the contemporary moment. Contributors offer commentary on a short slideshow of some of Stettheimer’s most powerful work.
