LITER 111: Art and Life: from Wagnerian Opera to Reality TV

Harvard University
The Total Artwork's desire to eliminate the borders between art and life is a project much identified with German Romanticism and Wagner's operas. Yet, this class will argue and provide case studies, the form this interrogation takes is still very much alive, and has remained so throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, culminating in the very strange project that is Reality-TV. Case Studies include: Balzac, Diderot, Wagner, Brecht, Malarme, Moholy-Nagy, Syberberg, reality shows.
