Paul K. Saint-Amour

What does James Joyce's Ulysses have to do with the society of national security? How is high modernism connected to the perpetualized state of emergency? This talk will situate interwar modernism--particularly "encyclopedic" modernist epics by writers such as Joyce, Woolf, Döblin, and Musil--in relation to the emergence of total war, a warfare that liquidates the distinction between soldier and civilian.

Paul Saint-Amour teaches Victorian, Modernist, and Post-colonial Literature at Pomona College. His book The Copywrights: Intellectual Property and the Literary Imagination (Cornell U P, 2003) won the MLA Prize for a First Book. A former fellow at the Stanford Humanities Center and the Society for the Humanities at Cornell, he is presently a fellow at the National Humanities Center.
