Suggested approaches to Module Topics: Modernism & Empire (1) How might one distinguish and relate between "modernity" and "modernism": why are such distinctions and linkages important? (2) Distinguish the scope for overlap and the extent of the non-overlap between the notion of "imperialism" and the notion of "colonialism". (3) Use resources like the following with critical discrimination and selectivity in order to work out the evidence, historical information, and interpretive arguments needed to give a coherent account of the relations between European imperialism and European modernism. (4) Given the scale of the topic, it might be easier to approach the broad question formulated in (3) above with reference to specific authors, for example [a] Conrad, modernist writing and writing about Empire, [b] Woolf, modernist writing and attitudes to gender, [c] Cesaire, modernist writing and attitudes to race and identity, etc. Christopher L.C.E.
