ENGL 90404 - Modernism: Race & Gender

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

An examination of several central issues that have dominated discussions of the intimate and complex relationship between modernism, gender, and race: the role of race and gender in the formation of modernist aesthetics; literary modernism's often tense relation to mass culture; the ambiguous status of the work of art vis-a-vis commodity; the development of political and literary avant-garde movements (with specific emphasis on those marked by gender and race such as the suffrage movement and the Harlem Renaissance); the development of modern discourses of sexuality; the intersections between female masquerade, racial passing, and new modes of mimesis; and the questions of memory and morning.
