Inhalt
The term "modernism" appears to be all too familiar. Conventionally "modernism" has been defined as a historical period, roughly ranging from the late nineteenth to the middle of the twentieth century, which encompassed cultural and socio-political productions and movements marked by an investment in experimentation, innovation, transgression, and a break with established traditions, an urge "to make it new" (Ezra Pound). However, numerous critical studies have called into question conventional conceptualizations of these notions. In this seminar we will embark on an inquiry into the complex discourses which have shaped the notion of "modernism", for instance, by scrutinizing how this notion, and the phenomena it is supposed to denote, has been entangled with racialized and gendered social dynamics. We will discuss canonized "modernist" artworks and literary texts in conjunction with artistic and literary works that have thus far been marginalized and excluded from the "modernist" canon.
In addition, we will trace the philosophical underpinnings of "modernist" literature and art and take a closer look at positions from the discourses of psychoanalysis, liberalism, socialism, and others, which significantly influenced "modernist" thinking. In a next step, we will deal with recent critical accounts of "modernism" which problematize monolithic and Eurocentric conceptualizations of "modernism", in the singular, and call for an acknowledgement of a plurality of "modernisms". Finally, we will trace the after-effects and afterlives of "modernist" modes of artistic practice and thinking, in contemporary cultural productions and perhaps in our own internalized concepts of art and culture as well.
