| 3 hours Germany in Dictatorship & War "No nations history was more consequential in shaping twentieth-century events than Germanys. Even before the First World War, German industrial might, combined with the nations volatile politics and vibrant culture, cast deepening shadows across Europe. In the world wars to follow, Germanys vaunted military was central to the titanic clashes that, by 1945, had decisively recast world power relations as well as Europe's territorial divisions. Central to Germany's twentieth century, of course, is the Nazi era, a time of unparalleled horror and persecution that, to this day, challenges our capacity for rational explanation. And the twelve years that made up Hitlers Thousand Year Reich provide this course its narrative fulcrum and central interpretive challenges. Yet these questions cannot be answered by reference to the Nazi years alone and, for that reason, we start our story with Germany on the eve of World War I, carrying it through the endphases of World War II in" Restricted to Undergrad - Chicago. | ||||||||

| Fascism, Modernism, End of Lit Published in 1930, one of the most eccentric and complex European modernist novels, Insatiability by a Polish writer, artist, and philosopher, Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz, tells a story of a man on the brink of disaster, who slowly, under the pressure of totalitarian politics and international military conflict, transforms himself from a promising artist and intellectual into a mental zombie. The novel, written at the end of literature, diagnoses a chronic decline of high culture in the contemporary society and the erosion of meaning under the rule of unlimited consumption and moral indifference. By contextualized reading, linking Witkiewicz with major social, political, and artistic ideas of the prewar Europe, we will be able not only to better understand the inescapable predicament of the European art in the epoch of actual or imagined totalitarianism, but also to discover the very source of the current crisis of liberal culture. The course will combine a close reading of the novel in English translation with a survey of a large intellectual framework indispensable to understanding Eastern and Western culture and politics in the 1920s and 1930s. We will also build a comprehensive and useful framework for analyzing the political and social imbrication of art, as it was designed by European Modernity in the last 200 years. Besides the novel we will read such authors as Oswald Spengler, Ortega y Gasset, Ernst Jnger, Georges Bataille, Hannah Arendt, George Orwell, Nicolai Berdyaev. All reading materials will be in English. A copy of the English version has to be purchased on Amazon (S. I. Witkiewicz, Insatiability, transl. Louis Iribarne, Northwestern University Press 1996). Other materials will be distributed. | ||||||||
