Course content
|
Since the end of the nineteenth century, there have been international radical changes in art, both in the visual arts and in music, architecture and literature. There have also been new media, such as photography, film, radio and television, and recently digital communications and the Internet. We will discuss how they have led to new forms and experiments, and how these developments relate to new movements elsewhere in Europe and beyond. Course structure: Week 1) General introduction; Week 2) "avant-garde" in the context of art; Week 3) Modernism or "avant-garde" at the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries; Week 4) "De Stijl" (Style) as an avant-garde center; Week 5) Avant-garde in film and architecture of the interwar period; Week 6) Neo-avant-garde after World War II; Week 7) Radio and radio play; Week 8) So-called specific poetry; Week 9) Television as a source of income; Week 10) Television as an experimental space; Week 11) Computer and Poetry; Week 12) Internet and new literary forms; Week 13) Summary of the course. For operational reasons, the course is taught in 6 larger blocks.
