- Inhalt
- Modernism is a very broad cultural and literary movement, or a mode of thinking if you will, that influenced all forms of art, and to an extent also philosophy and politics. The modernist movement may be seen as a reaction to the rapid pace of society, fast development and technological boom of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. With influences from the theories of Darwin, Freud, Marx and Nietzsche to later influencing art as one may see in the paintings of Monet and Renoir, to name a few, Modernism has its roots in Europe but spans the entire globe. The objective of this course is to provide an overview of the movement by characterising and contextualising it as well as by analysing key modernist texts.
In order to do so, the course will first frame Modernism, that is to say, we shall study the movement in relation to its social and historical context, as well as analyse it taking into account the dialogue it establishes with other movements of the time, for instance Romanticism, Realism and others. We shall have a panoramic view into the “origins” and development of Modernism, from both an artistic and literary stand point as well as a philosophical one.
The second and larger part of this course will provide an in-depth analysis of Modernist poetry, with the works of T. S. Eliot, Richard Aldington and T. E. Hulme; the narratives of Virginia Woolf and James Joyce; and finally the Modernist drama of Samuel Beckett.
