SUMMARY:George Orwell and the Police
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Douglas Kerr – School of English\, HKU (https://englishhkuhk.foarts.hku.hk/people/Faculty/150/Professor%20Douglas%20Kerr) \nAbstract\nPolice states are "Orwellian". This paper reads George Orwell to ask what the police meant to him. It traces continuities in his representation of the police\, from the imperial force with which he served in Burma in the 1920s\, to the Spanish police from whom he escaped in Barcelona in 1937\, to the Thought Police in Nineteen Eighty-Four. British police had a benign image in his lifetime\, but unusually among writers\, Orwell had seen the disciplinary regime elsewhere\, and from both sides. The British Empire's claim to moral legitimacy rested specifically on the rule of law\, yet as is uncomfortably clear from Orwell's novel Burmese Days and elsewhere\, in colonial Burma a racial oligarchy dealt the law and could over-rule it\, sometimes with violence. In Homage to Catalonia\, the police scarcely pretend to serve the law\, and are an instrument of the Stalinist communists. Barcelona is thus the essential link from Burmese Days to Nineteen Eighty-Four where the law has actually disappeared but the police have not. \n ||  \nBiography

SUMMARY:Anthony Burgess and Modernism
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Andrew Biswell – International Anthony Burgess Foundation (http://www2.mmu.ac.uk/english/staff/profile/index.php?id=1) \nAbstract\nIn 1992 Anthony Burgess wrote a proposal for an unwritten book\, ‘Modernism and Modern Man’. Burgess died the following year\, but the proposal document offers a detailed statement about his thinking on modernism\, not simply as a historical movement but as a continuous artistic project which was not yet complete. \nDrawing on Burgess’s fiction and critical works\, this paper seeks to position him as a late modernist novelist who worked self-consciously in the tradition of James Joyce. His critical writing on Joyce provides a set of interventions through which he articulated an ongoing dialogue with the high modernism of the 1920s and 1930s. In this non-fiction work\, Burgess comes closest to making his literary aesthetic clear. \n ||  \nBiography\nAndrew Biswell is Professor of Modern Literature at Manchester Metropolitan University (UK) and Director of the International Anthony Burgess Foundation.
