Inhalt
The literature of English modernism is characterised by a desire to express new forms of perception: it experiments with narrative voices, reverses external action inward and presents 'reality' as an unreliable subjective narrative. Modernist storytelling alienates the surface of everyday life, but it also makes it permeable and reveals challenges regarding self-conception and the sense of belonging. Traveling and exploring 'foreign' countries as well as urban life in European cities and bourgeois family relationships serve as symbolic cultural spaces in these new modes of representation. Joseph Conrad is a pioneer in the field of unreliable storytelling; through his much-discussed novella, we will venture into the abysses of Western 'civilization' and of the human psyche. With Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway, we will devote our attention to a milestone in the development of the stream-of-consciousness novel; the desires and anxieties affecting the characters' minds are symptomatic of larger conflicts in British culture after World War I. In sharp snapshots, Katherine Mansfield, the virtuoso 'master' of the modernist short story, presents images of restricted behaviors as well as of repressed conflicts, but also of fleeting moments of understanding, in which the effects of social alienation and self-estrangement are revealed. We will approach the texts from the perspective of, cultural studies, post-colonial studies, gender studies and psychoanalysis. In addition, we will discuss the transformation of some of these literary 'classics' into cultural myths by analysing film adapations. All participants are expected to enrol for for a short oral presentation.
