403CE Cc: Radical Changes Since 1945 (3)
This cluster course will focus on modernism, post-modernism and expressionism
in the visual arts and literature since World War II. Lectures address
intellectual movements-such as existentialism and formalism-and cultural
development-such as increased impact of technology and mass media-in
contemporary society. By focusing on these movements, we hope to provide an
integrated view of the literature and visual arts of the period and to draw
upon analogous developments in contemporary architecture, music, philosophy and
film. This course is offered as a cluster with English 300CE.
