Today’s #ModWrite is more of a #ModThink about @[email protected] 2023’s call for digital exhibits. I’d really like to present my project - I’ve cooked up a prototype that I think is pretty neat - and I’m pondering the best way to do that.
Today's #ModWrite sees me doing the hardest part of the job: wracking my small and smooth brain to come up with a snappy title for an abstract...
Today’s #ModWrite - trying to make some edits to chapter two (Poland! Borders! Modernism!), but mostly being distracted by my little Lincolnshire paper I’m presenting in Munich later this month. Here’s a (rather ominous?) Lincs pic by John Piper (from: https://www.tate.org.uk/art/archive/items/tga-8728-1-22-82/piper-photograph-of-a-signpost-in-freiston-shore-lincolnshire).

Today’s #ModWrite sees me returning to the angle bracket factory as I start transcribing once again.

This time my job is made a whole lot easier thanks to absolutely beautiful high-res facsimiles courtesy of @[email protected]!

Today’s episode of #ModWrite is a very exciting one indeed! I’m proofreading the first draft of the intro to my new book project, and it all feels a lot more real now!!

By way of #Introductions, I'm Lloyd Meadhbh, and I work on the cultural politics of sexual health, the history of obscenity and censorship, and queer history and culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. I also moonlight as a gaming journalist and gender diversity consultant.

My monograph, "Irish Modernism and the Politics of Sexual Health", will be out with OUP in Feb.

Today’s #ModWrite: on literary depictions of European empires & new nation states post-WWI. Taking inspiration from these amazing banknotes on display at @[email protected] - Austro-Hungarian notes transformed (through overprinting and stamps) into Romanian & Czechoslovak currency.
This #ModWrite I'm writing on Blanchot, Hegel, and Napoleon (with a special guest appearance by Kojève).
