Advanced Seminar
WiSe 16/17: S-Lit. Stud.: Periods-Genres-Concepts II: Narrating the 20th Century
Stephan Laqué
Comments
The 20th century produced literature which has come to be read and interpreted as being modernist or postmodernist. Narratives of the period show a marked concern with issues of subjectivity, identity, referentiality and reflexivity as the subject is ‘subjected to’ uncertainties, contradictions, fragmentation and relentless acceleration. In this course we will be looking at the ways in which novels from high modernism, late modernism, and postmodernism explore the consequences of and potential remedies for this general sense of disorientation. Please purchase the following texts: James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (ed. Seamus Deane, Penguin), Samuel Beckett, Molloy (in Beckett, Three Novels), Julian Barnes, Flaubert’s Parrot (Penguin) and Martin Amis, Money (Penguin). Please read Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist before the beginning of the semester. close
