Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course's aim is to examine the importance of improvisation in certain styles of literature and music. Improvisation can take place on a structural, thematic and formal level. It can be essential to some forms of art, or a mere stylistic tool for others.
In this course we will examine diverse examples of literature and music and try to find out how deeply and in what form the idea of improvisation has left its mark on them.
We will discuss examples from (but not limited to) French Surrealism, Dadaism, Beat Literature, the Imagists, Freestyle Hip Hop, No-Wave and the American Post-Punk/Indie scene of the 1980s.
