SUMMARY:The Djuna Barnes Research Seminar
DESCRIPTION:The Djuna Barnes Research Seminar\nThursday 1st December 2
 011, \n6.00-8.00\nSenate House, Bloomsbury: Room 270 (Stewart House)\
 n \n \n\"I, Dr Matthew Mighty O'Connor, ask you to think of the nigh
 t the day long...\"\n \nDear all,\n \nAs we begin to prepare for The
  First International Djuna Barnes Conference to be held next year, The
  Djuna Barnes Research Seminar will be asking how well we know Barnes 
 and what assumptions we make about her work. Taking a short break from
  hosting monthly papers from invited speakers, the Research Seminar wi
 ll instead spend the next sessions rereading Barnes’s most famous te
 xt, Nightwood (1936), chapter by chapter. As always, we welcome postgr
 aduates, academics and enthusiasts interested in the work of Djuna Bar
 nes, her contemporaries, or issues relating to twentieth century liter
 ary culture, politics and aesthetics.\n \nInitially meetings will not
  be framed by specific critical issues or secondary reading, though th
 ese will of course be part of the discussion. Instead, we want to see 
 where a direct encounter between the group and Barnes' prose takes us.
  To quote Malcolm Bowie's marvellous gloss on the ethos of critical th
 eory, we will 'read slowly, read again, read against the grain.' Hopef
 ully everyone will bring their own critical ideas to a collective ende
 avour to challenge assumptions, see the writing afresh, and provoke fr
 iendly debate.\n \nIn the second of these sessions, on Thurs 1st Dece
 mber, we will continue our discussion of chapter 1, 'Bow Down'; we sug
 gest also rereading chapter 2, 'La Somnambule', as we may begin lookin
 g at that too. Those planning to attend the Seminar should read the ex
 panded, annotated Nightwood: The Original Version and Related Drafts, 
 edited by Cheryl Plumb, if possible, although the Faber and Faber edit
 ion will be sufficient. \n \n \n\nFor more information visit http:/
