October 2, 2015 Under the Influence: Modernism and Dada. James Joyce's Influence on F. Scott Fitzgerald's Writing; Dada's Influence on the Writing of Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Friday, October 2, 2015, from noon-12:50 p.m. in C-1016, a colloquium will be presented by Dan Darling and Patrick O’Donnell, faculty in English, on the following topic:
Under the Influence: Modernism and Dada. James Joyce's influence on F. Scott Fitzgerald's writing; Dada's influence on the writing of Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
The course of Modernism was influenced by many diverse forces both literary and artistic.  Dadaism was one of those formative forces that broke new ground in Modernism and paved the way for many innovations in literature and the visual arts, particularly the writing of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Likewise, there are parallels between James Joyce and F. Scott Fitzgerald that were seminal influences on Modernism as well as on their individual creative works.
