COLT 1421V S01 [CRN: 25882]
This course will read three of the key texts of modernism, the avant-garde, and postmodernism respectively: James Joyce's Ulysses (Ireland, 1922), André Breton's Nadja (Paris, 1928), and Julio Cortázar's Hopscotch (Argentina, 1963). We will explore how all three of these novels, despite belonging to different moments and outposts of literary modernity, circle obsessively around questions of modernization, city life, mass and high culture, national and global identity, and the impact of all of these on minds and on bodies, on the constitution of the individual subject, and on the formation of local communities and traditions.
