Mathematics 219 - Vienna:Turn of the Century

Institution:

St Lawrence University

Subject:

Description:

The mood in Vienna around 1900 has been described as "a nervous splendor." The centuries-old Habsburg Empire was rapidly approaching its end, undermined by the ethnic turmoil that would soon contribute to the outbreak of World War I. But in this atmosphere of impending change, there was a flourishing of art, architecture, music, literature, psychology and philosophy that made Vienna one of the birthplaces of Modernism. The course examines the developments in all these fields and the connections among them. Attention is also given to the ways Vienna still reflects the revolutionary patterns of thought that emerged there a century ago. Also offered through European Studies and Literature in (English) Translation.
