Subject Description | This subject will comprise close analysis of theories of avant-garde culture developing in Europe between 1885 and 1935. The focus will be determined by a number of issues, which may include: institutional structures (museums, dealers, artists' groups); nationalism (regional, cultural and ideological factors); criticism and aesthetic theory; social developments (the rise of mass culture, new technologies); politics (anarchism, feminism, communism, fascism); discourse (epistemologies of modernism, identity, culture). Students should become familiar with analyses and critiques of modernism, informed by theories of gender, sexuality, and postcoloniality. |
