Walter Benjamin’s work remains central to discussions of modernity

in developing projects of their own.

should be sent to walterbenjamin at uts.edu.au by April 30 2006. We also 
invite proposals for panels of three papers organized around a 
particular theme. Papers delivered at the conference should be 20 
minutes in length.
