The first half of the twentieth century can be characterized as a period that defined itself in reaction to the past. Across the Western world, aesthetic, political, and cultural movements led to innovations and experimentations in literature, art, film, fashion, architecture, and music. By focusing on a variety of verbal and visual texts, this course explores how these dramatic changes came about, and how they made the period self-consciously modern.
