History 206 - Twentieth-Century Europe

Institution:

St Lawrence University

Subject:

Description:

An overview of the political, social, cultural and intellectual history of Europe in the 20th century. Wars, economic upheavals, revolutions and genocidal atrocities reshaped Europe in the first half of the century, radically altering the physical and psychic landscape. Feminism, socialism, communism and fascism challenged the political system that evolved in the 19th century, while the intellectual and artistic avant-garde questioned basic assumptions of European culture. The Cold War, decolonization and attempts to express a new European identity defined the second half of the century. We will consider a variety of texts, including novels, poetry, speeches, art and films. Also offered through European Studies.
