Modernism Revisited:
Pai Hsien-yung and Chinese Literary
Modernism in Taiwan and Beyond

The organizers of "Modernism Revisited: Pai Hsien-yung and Chinese Literary Modernism in Taiwan and Beyond" cordially invite you to attend an international conference aimed to reflect upon and reevaluate Chinese literary modernism in Taiwan from a historical perspective.

Bringing together writers who took part in the original Chinese literary modernist movement, such as Pai Hsien-yung, with younger writers and a group of literary critics from around the globe, this conference explores the history, ideas, language, literature, and spirit of this seminal moment in modern Chinese cultural history with a series of dialogues, presentations, film screenings, and discussions.

Conference registration is free and open to the public. Please note major portions of this conference will be conducted in Mandarin Chinese. To register, please call Gretchen Falvo at (805) 893-3629 or email Gretchen.Falvo@ia.ucsb.edu.

Details on the "Modernism Revisited" conference content, attendees, and logistics will be added as they become available, so revisit the Web site often, and don't forget to reserve May 1-3 for the conference!
