Description

Examines the main artistic movements which express what it is that makes the twentieth century distinctive in Anglophone societies. Involves investigations into such terms as modernism and postmodernism and their relationship with the experience of modernity as articulated in expressive practices ranging from 'High' to 'Low' culture, from art to the everyday. Although the emphasis is on literary work, the course will also refer to other media including painting, film/video, music.
