This book identifies and describes modernist 'choran community' as a previously understudied key counternarrative to Modernism's engagement with early twentieth-century master narratives. The author uses the term choran community to emphasize the almost sacred nature of the experience represented in common by select modernist texts, photographs, and phototexts produced in the interwar period. Choran community comes about as a result of the 'choran moment', or, textual instant when characters and/or readers (re)cognize their connection with a larger, inherently unified whole. Whether in a visual, verbal, or hybrid text, the stasis of the choran moment contains the potent possibility of communal awareness, or choran community, in the future as well as the present. The textual choran communities presented here consequently offset the sexist, racist, and classist solipsism of imperialist or fascist master narrative.
