Description:

This quarter works toward understanding the relation (in the modern and post-modern periods) between economic development and processes of cultural transformation. We examine literary and visual texts that celebrate and criticize modernization and urbanization. Beginning with Baudelaire's response to Paris in his prose poems, we then concentrate on novels that address economic, social, and cultural change in the 1930s, including Abdelrahman Munif' s Cities of Sal t and Richar d Wright ? Native So n. As the quarter concludes, students develop projects that investigate the urban fabric of Chicago itself
