Interdisciplinarity and transnational modernisms are the key approaches in The Modernist World, as sixty-one essays discuss modernism in literature, the visual arts, theatre, dance, architecture, music and film, as well as intellectual currents. The essays themselves are geographically divided into eight sections: East and Southeast Asia, South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, Australia and Oceania, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and the Arab World, and finally Canada and the United States. Indeed, a real indication of the new approach taken in this volume is precisely the order of these geographical subdivisions, where Europe and the West no longer begin the conversation, but instead appear half way through and at the end. |
