Modernism in European literature arises from historical events that abruptly changed our perception of reality and ourselves. These include Darwins discovery of the origin of species, rapid urbanisation, scientific discoveries and technological revolution, Freuds theory of the unconscious, colonialism and World War I. All of these events destroyed previous beliefs in reality as objectively knowable, human beings as primarily rational, and the existence of a universal ethics that can be discovered though the use of reason. The modern experience subverts Enlightenment rationalism, 19th century positivism, the belief in social stability and bourgeois morality. The uncertainty, angst, despair, and exhillaration of the modern experience are reflected in new ways of writing literature that aim to bring us closer to the lived experience.
This seminar will analyze various manifestations of modernism in literature. Starting from Vienna as the epicenter of modernist ideas, we will focus on the influence of Freud on the Viennese author Arthur Schnitzler and the Prague-based Franz Kafka. We will then compare German-language modernism to English-language modernist fiction by writers from Britain and its former colonies: Virginia Woolf (England), James Joyce (Ireland), Katherine Mansfield (New Zealand) and Dambudzo Marechera (Rhodesia/Zimbabwe). A parallel comparative frame with English and French realist fiction will allow us to draw conclusions about the shift in European writing from the 19th to the 20th century. Rather than understanding modernism as a merely European phenomenon, modernism will be analyzed as a transcontinental movement that reflected the experience of a changing world as a result of colonization, transculturation and the breaking with tradition.
