TRANSITION
Transition: Forum for Interdisciplinary Studies into Modernity (TFISM) is a non-institutional platform for interdisciplinary conversations, exploring the idea of 'modernity' in its diverse fields of cultural studies. The organisation was initiated by three post-doctoral researchers who acquired their doctoral professions in English and Related Literature and History of Art at the University of York. The interdisciplinary forums they organised include "Reflecting/Reflected Modernity: Sites of Interface Between the Occidental and the Oriental" in 2021 and "Ugly Modernity: The Unseen Sides" in 2023, and they have invited researchers internationally from multiple academic fields. With the scope of 'modernity', TFISM engaged in intercultural sites, where understandings of modernity required specific contexts for embodying its dynamic, transforming, and reshaping entities. The term 'transition' suggests this ongoing process for identifying 'modern' as artificially made with relative matters rather than a chronological frame of the genre.
