Inhalte/Themen:	Modernism is the period most defined by its drive for innovation. Authors, artists (and increasingly filmmakers) are responding to rapid social, political, cultural, and technological changes at the beginning of the twentieth century as well as seeking their own forms of expression that break with tradition or rethink it for this particular moment. The oft-quoted imperative “Make It New!” by American poet Ezra Pound speaks to this, as it emphasizes creation, the quality of newness as an artistic goal, and the “It” as a reference (history, tradition, literary form) that is to be made new in the process. This course is interested in how Modernist authors and artists have engaged with this paradigm of ‘making it new’ in very different ways, seeking a break from the past, reworking traditions to their own ends, advocating for change in gender and racial dynamics, or turning to the new medium of film as a vehicle for an emerging popular mass culture. What role does Europe play for American Modernism to the point that some varieties of Modernism are best understood as transatlantic or transnational? How did the experience of World War I and World II shape both the beginning and the end of the period known as Modernism? What different ideas of tradition, innovation, and change were important for the moment of Black American cultural flourishing called the Harlem Renaissance? And how can we see filmic genres such as “film noir” both as a celebration and critique of American modernity? In order to discuss these questions, the course will turn to a selection of poetry, narrative texts, drama, film, and visual artworks, and conclude with the writing of a term paper for which we will also prepare during the course.
