For the purposes of this study is The Contradiction between Past Present Future in Fictional Plots of George Orwell, the researcher will refer to him as George Orwell, as this was his literary name. The relationship between the past, present and future shapes our understanding of the world around us. Whether it is the perceived consequences of past events, the urgency of present concerns, or the challenges of real or imagined futures, the structures of time intersect with and inform our sense of ourselves in myriad ways. 'Care for the Future: Thinking Forward through the Past' affords an opportunity for researchers in the arts and humanities to explore the dynamic relationship that exists between past, present and future through a temporally inflected lens.

viii Foreword Historical Discourses experiences grounded in other types of social organization. 7 Alternative modes of time-from the molecular to the planetary-are rendered uncanny, simultaneously unthinkable and disruptive, to the extent that they resist full incorporation into the speculative economy. Could the discipline of history become a space in which we develop new ethics of living-not only in relation to the past,but also with respect to these disavowed temporalities? This question has been posed, at least implicitly, by recent work on the concept of the anthropocene and in feminist scholarship on the environment and techno-science. 8 In any case, we should also entertain the possibility that it is already too late. Perhaps all that remains, in Gandhi's words, is to prepare for a beautiful death. This earth will grow cold, a star among stars and one of the smallest, a gilded mote on blue velvet-I mean this, our great earth. This earth will grow cold one day, not like a block of ice or a dead cloud even but like an empty walnut it will roll along in pitch-black space… You must grieve for this right now-you have to feel this sorrow nowfor the world must be loved this much if you're going to say "I lived"…

Modernism Today. XIXth Conference of the Modernist Studies Association (MSA), 2017

Message from the MSA President So, here we are in Amsterdam, a city of modernist memories, home of De Stijl, the Amsterdam school, and a rich legacy of modernist innovation, particularly in architecture and design. We feel welcomed by the Beurs van Berlage in the shadow of the magnificent Centraal Station. In this context, we enbrace the chance to consider Modernism Today. The conference program offers abundant opportunities, with its 109 panels, 24 roundtables, 20 seminars, and 7 digital exhibitions from many interdisciplinary approaches. We're also excited about the conference's partnership with several local institutions, the European Union, and especially the Stedelijk Museum. I hope to see you at the event there Friday evening, or at one of the other activities arranged for us in the city. Preparations for this conference have occupied the organizers for many days and hours over the past year and more. The effort that goes into putting on a conference of this size and complexity is prodigious-those who have done it will know, and those who haven't will rightly guess. You'll see the names of all the local committee further on in this program, but we are particularly grateful to Rudolph Glitz, who took on the role of leadership. Every MSA member who attends this year owes him a nod of thanks. MSA Program Chair, Lisi Schoenbach, now finishing her final year of service in this position, also spent untold hours shepherding the conference selection process and helping to shape the program. We are endlessly grateful for her work on this and the past several conferences. Please thank her when you see her! Thanks also go to the other members of the program committee who helped to read and select the seminars and panels you see listed here. As you'll have noted, this year we adopted a new conference technology program, Ex Ordo. Given the shorter year from last conference to this one, we set ourselves a difficult task, which was not without some glitches. But we feel confident the change was worthwhile and hope it will serve us in the years to come. We could not have gotten here without our able MSA webmaster, Alex Christie, who offered wise council and support at countless junctures. If you have received messages from MSA, consulted our website, or looked at the conference page, that is thanks to Alex. We have also developed a new information sheet, "How the MSA Works," soon to be unveiled on our website. MSA awarded 56 conference travel grants this year worth a record setting $18,000. We also awarded $8,000 in research travel funding to 9 recipients, particularly those in early career stages. The Board is pleased to be able to offer this support to our members and regrets not being able to fund all worthy applicants. Please reapply! It is time to say goodbye to Scott Klein, who worked hard as Interdisciplinary Chair to increase conference participation across the disciplines, and to our Membership and Elections Chair, María del Pilar Blanco, who has brought many able officers into our midst. Past President Stephen Ross also steps away from his many years of service to MSA. We wish themand Lisi-a fond farewell and offer a round of applause for their service. The MSA couldn't exist without the accomplished work of these MSA officers. Working with them has been one of the real pleasures of serving on the Board over the past few years. I want to call your attention to the growing Print Plus Platform of the MSA's flagship journal, Modernism/Modernity. As Debra Rae Cohen's recent editor's column pointed out, this platform has ramped up in this past year and is bringing out much excellent, peer-reviewed scholarship, as well as blogs and other commentaries. The platform adds immeasurably to our print journal and we are grateful to editors, Debra Rae and Chris Bush, and all those working on both the print and digital parts of the journal for their ongoing work. Check it out! At the end of the present conference, Laura Winkiel, will step up to become the next MSA President. She has exceptional people following her up the presidential ladder: Celia Marshik will fill Laura's current position as First Vice President, and Matthew Hart will take Celia's place as Second VP. The board also welcomes Rebecca Walsh as the new Program Chair and Erin Templeton as Membership and Elections Chair. I leave office knowing the MSA is in excellent hands. Here's to a memorable conference! I look forward to seeing you at one of the events or the business lunch (please come say hello). I'll also hope to see you at the next MSA conference in

The 9th conference of the European Society for Periodical Research, held at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, from 16–18 September 2020, welcomes proposals for original papers, panels, and roundtables concerning the conference topic: Periodical Formats in the Market: Economies of Space and Time, Competition and Transfer. The conference aims to bring together experts and scholars from various disciplines of periodical studies. We welcome proposals from researchers at all stages of their careers. The conference seeks to examine journals from the 18th to the 21th century within the market and its sociocultural, economic, and legal frameworks, exploring two main areas: (1) economies of time and space, i.e. spatiotemporal aspects of the production, distribution, and reception of periodicals and similar serialized formats, and (2) facets of competition and transfer between periodicals within localised and regional as well as international markets.
