A Missed Opportunity? Transylvania as a Virtual Central Europe by Boka László

“…The concept of Transylvanism is discussed through the debates of the interwar period, and is situated within the context of Hungarian literary modernism. In the light of the Transylvanian literary ideas of the 1920s and 1930s, minority / regional literatures would have been directly related to a new concept of European and world literature beyond national literatures, along a line of thought that acknowledged the deterministic character of regionalism, and prioritized it also at the level of cultural memory, considering it to be primary over linguistic, national, and the changing geographical boundaries. …”

Being Geniuses Together: Ghostwriting and the Uncanny of Robert McAlmon’s and Kay Boyle’s (Out of) Joint Autobiography by Anna Linzie

“…I am interested in the way in which self-writing and autobiography in general, and in particular experimental forms of collaborative, queer, or “mock” autobiography, have been used to conjure up supposedly True Stories of the Lost Generation and literary Modernism. Few crowds are as famous, as notorious, as surrounded by myth, as extensively written about in various more or less autobiographical texts, as the “in” crowd of writers, artists, critics and publishers in Paris in the 1920s. …”

T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound: To the History of Creative Contacts by V.M. Tolmatchoff

“…Despite the fact that Eliot and Pound have been assigned very different images (the first one is seen a conservative, defender of Christian culture, a Nobel laureate, while the other is famous for being an eternal exile, a herald of permanent poetic revolution, an admirer of Benito Mussolini), these two figures complement each other, thus illustrating the versatility of Anglo-American literary modernism. Based on almost all information available today and brought together, the paper analyses facts of biography, strategy of relations, mutual correspondence, reviewing of each other, collaboration in the Criterion magazine, cultural activities, as well as Pound’s participation in editing The Waste Land and other Eliot’s texts. …”

“Such were some of the parts, but how bring them together?”1 : The Literary Sibling as Dr Frankenstein in Pat Barker’s Toby’s Room by Agata Woźniak

Section II examines Chinese South African life writing about being “yellow” under apartheid, and analyzes the poetic images of China and Chineseness constructed by the “colored” South African anti-apartheid activist Dennis Brutus to counter the dominant “Yellow Peril”/“Red Peril” discourses in the country during the global Cold War. …”
