Subject Description | This subject is an examination of how modernist artistic doctrines and practices developed in the context of demands for a politically engaged art in the Inter-war period in Europe. The subject investigates the relationship between modernist aesthetics and the projects of cultural revolution associated with socialism and fascism; the political and aesthetic debates surrounding the reception of modernist art by the Nazi and Communist parties; and the ways in which certain canonical modernist writers and film-makers have been positioned by contemporary criticism in relation to the ideologies of fascism and communism. |
