Subject:

Description:

Explores the cultural dynamics of transatlantic modernism as seen through the lens of urban experience. Focusing on London and New York as centers of gravity for modernist culture, explores the reciprocal relationship between modernism and the city: How was modernism shaped by the urban experience, and how, in turn, did modernism help to mold our conception of the modern city? Examines the parallels and contrasts among a variety of forms, including literature, film, art, music, and architecture, stressing the uneven developments of the period, with special attention paid to the tension between highbrow and popular forms.
