Graduate Seminar, Spring 2013
Monday, 7:00 - 9:50 p.m.
January 21, 2013 – April 29, 2013
MLS 518 Modernism
This seminar explores the origins and development of the cultural movement that helped define Europe and America in the 20th century. The radical transformation of both natural and social science in the late nineteenth century reconfigured notions of time and space that profoundly affected literature and the arts. New technologies contributed to a pervasive mass culture that both influenced and alienated artists and intellectuals. The seminar will discuss a variety of thinkers who challenged middle-class conventions and created the heresies of Modernism.
