The
Centre for Modernist Studies at Sussex has decided to live up to its name by
holding a one-day symposium on the album and film. Quadrophenia fans, please
consider joining us.
Possible
topics include but are not limited to: the representation of Mods; Mod
revival(s) and nostalgia; Englishness; class; violence; crowds; work;
adolescence; masculinity; the relationship between the film and the album; the
concept/double album; the accompanying book of photographs and Townshend’s
text; influences; legacies; Quadrophenia as rock opera; Quadrophenia in the
Who’s oeuvre; the self-conscious representation of the Who’s history; the
performance of it in the current moment; pills; punks; godfathers; sea; sand;
rain; bellboys.
Paper
proposals that mix personal with critical, historical, musicological, or
cultural-studies analyses are welcome.
Please
send short (300-500 word) proposals for 15-20 minute papers and a short bio of
yourself to Pam Thurschwell, p.thurschwell@sussex.ac.uk by 1
December 2013.
