Modernism and Modernity: The Vancouver Conference Papers was originally published as the proceedings from a 1983 conference held in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Due to its popularity, this reprint is issued with the same insightful and intriguing papers by attendees, all of which constitute a major contribution to the rethinking of the history and debates concerning modernism and modernity. Once novelties in the 1980s, many of these essays and theories in this illustrated reader are today regarded as modern classics.
