British Association for Modernist Studies (BAMS)

This morning was given over to writing a section of my 'Digital Joyce' essay: mostly trying to say something sensible and interesting about now-defunct websites. This afternoon is mostly doing more reading for the MSA Prize for Best Edition, Anthology or Edited Collection.

#ModWrite > #ModRead

today’s #ModWrite is a delve back into torturous telephones in Patrick Hamilton’s radio dramas - and making a list of dream discoveries for my visit to the Hamilton archive at the Harry Ransom Center next month (happy dance)

This #modwrite I’m reflecting on the way my doctoral research on Ford Madox Ford led me to my current work on money and trust and how conversations I had with Derek Attridge and Lawrence Rainey two decades ago continue to reverberate in my recent @moneyontheleft.bsky.social article.

#modwrite trying to get my dissertation edited (:

This #ModWrite I'm making a start on a grant proposal for my PhD on Woolf and crip theory. Feeling hopeful and pessimistic and terrified and excited all at the same time, so I'm keeping in mind that a bad first draft is better than nothing at all.

This #ModWrite I took some notes on Maria Lugones’ 1987 paper “Playfulness, ‘World’-Travelling, and Loving Perception” - thinking of Woolf, Beauvoir, Arendt, Ahmed. I needed and am very grateful for the humaneness of her crystal-clear prose ☀️

Congratulations!

For #ModWrite this week, how about a ModRead? Our new Eliot Studies Annual is out now. Chew on these:
- Special forum: THE ELIOT WE NEED
Higher ed is collapsing, climate crises abound. Our Prez asks: "in what contemporary struggles could we enlist Eliot as an ally?"

Beavering away on Kristofer's & my paper on pink kryptonite for @fanlis.bsky.social! #Superman #ModWrite

and a happy #Bloomsday to all who celebrate - let us know if you're thinking about Joyce today too

This #ModWrite is also Bloomsday, so I'll drop the link to the new issue of the James Joyce Literary Supplement (which includes a book review that I wrote). stars.library.ucf.edu/jjls/

Although it’s #Bloomsday I’m thinking about Leonard Woolf’s suggestion that Virginia’s ‘The Mark on the Wall’ (1917) is the first example of stream of consciousness, before Pilgrimage and Ulysses
#ModWrite

Today’s #ModWrite will be spent there 👇🏻 A necessary & exciting conference, beautifully conceived by @marinerouch.bsky.social for @beauvoirsociety.bsky.social ❤️‍🔥 A thousands ‘brava!’ and thanks for all this important, dedicated work ✨

Gorgonzola cheese sandwich for brunch. How do you celebrate #bloomsday ? #joyce #ulysses #modwrite
