Meeting 3: Aleks Prigozhin

Thursday, 2/26 @4.30pm in Cobb 219 Aleksandr Prigozhin (English, UChicago)

“Intuition, History, and Anxiety: Anticipating the End in British Novels of the 1930s”

From Aleks: “This is a draft of the concluding chapter of my dissertation, “The Arrival of the World: Atmosphere and Immediacy in the British Novel 1900-1940,” which analyzes aesthetic strategies for rendering abstract and diffuse historical conditions as matter for immediate experience, putting these strategies in conversation with histories and theories of media, affect, and mass politics. I welcome any suggestions, but I am especially interested in hearing feedback on the integration of the media history with the literary analyses my sections pursue.”

the paper is available here. Please contact coordinators for the password.
