課程概述	This semester-long course will focus on twelve modernist texts. We will study the aesthetic experimentation in each of these texts. We will also look into the themes and representations of the “others” in each text, relating them to the intellectual and socio-political milieu. The critical issues we will deal with include: What is modernism (as opposed to realism and postmodernism)? Is there only one monolithic Modernism or modernisms? What is the relationship between modernism and modernity? What politics of gender, sexuality, class, and race do these modernist texts show? What is the relationship between the modernist aesthetics and politics? Theories of modernism as well as feminist theory and postcolonial theory will be introduced in class in order for you to have a critical perspective.
