ENG 354 MODERN & PHILOSOPHY OF FORMS

Modernism and Philosophy of Forms - Modernist fictions, characterized by radical experiments in style and subject matter, reflect profound changes in the way the world is experienced, felt, and known.  The course considers monumental works of literature (Stein, Joyce, Woolf, Beckett) alongside contemporary philosophy (Bergson, Wittgenstein, Benjamin), analyzing how the era's core problematics - regarding language and cognition, individuals and social-historic forces - were taken up and addressed through developments in discursive form.
