The second half of the twentieth century is characterized as Postmodernist in that the self-reflexive literature and culture of the period are both an extension of, and a simultaneous critique of, modernist and earlier works. By focusing on a variety of verbal and visual texts in the context of the period’s socio-political upheavals, this course explores such aesthetic and political discourses, movements, and developments as feminism, Postcolonialism, queer theory, cultural studies, and Internet technology.
