300CE Cluster Course: Radical Changes Since 1945 (3)
This cluster will focus on modernism, post-modernism and expressionism in the
visual arts and literature since World War II. Common lectures will address
intellectual movements-such as existentialism and formalism--and cultural
development--such as the increased impact of technology and mass media--in
contemporary society. By focusing on these movements, the cluster course hopes
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.
