FNDL 26902 - Moments of Happiness

Institution:

University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

The sudden moment of illumination is a rare and sudden cognitive experience. In its high modernist version it is irrelevant to its cause, while later on it is mediated by diverse phenomena that range from works of art to libido. This course traces the presence of these awakenings in Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway. We also refer to several very brief poems and essays by Hugo von Hoffmanstahl, James Joyce, Czeslaw Milosz, Zbigniew Herbert, and Adam Zagajewski. B. Shallcross. Autumn.
