Expanded Course Description
| What happens to literature when the world is unrecognizable? How do new experimental forms attempt to capture an altered sense of reality? We will first address these questions in the context of European Modernism, a movement often characterized by its rejection of Victorian realism. In this period, the dissolution of shared values, the liberation movements of disenfranchised populations, and the emerging sense of selfhood as unknowable and incoherent contributed to a rupture with the old world order that authoritarian movements exploited. In response, writers and artists sought new forms to represent a world that felt radically unprecedented. In this course we will study the relationship between such destabilization and the formal innovations that seek to capture it. Class-time will involve interactive exercises designed specifically for the program and small group discussions. Assignments will be both analytical and creative. We will end the course with a consideration of the madness of our current world order and practice our own experimental writing.
The course runs approximately 5:30-8:50 on Tuesday nights weeks 1-11 in winter term, plus drive-time to Oregon State Correctional Institution. Transportation will leave the Eugene campus around 4:00.
