Writers and artists of the last 100 years questioned everything: What is the self?听 What is time?听 What is literature? 听We鈥檒l explore a wide range of works, including novels, poetry, movies, comics, prints, and 3D books to make sense of two key movements: modernism and postmodernism.听 We鈥檒l focus in particular on representations of war and the blurring of boundaries between literature and the visual arts, drawing as much as possible on Norlin Library鈥檚 Special Collections and the collections of the CU Art Museum.听
Readings: Virginia Woolf (To The Lighthouse), Winsor McCay (Little Nemo in Slumberland), Charlie Chaplin (Modern Times), and Art Spiegelman (Maus). We鈥檒l also study works by artists Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, Ren茅 Magritte, Lorna Simpson, Enrique Chagoya, Ed Ruscha, Jenny Holzer, and many others.
