This course examines influential texts--primarily British, from the late 19th century to World War II--and is guided by a central question: How were ideas about the nature and social function of art bound up with emergent reconceptualizations of racial, national, ethnic, and sexual identity? We will ask how modernist cultural identity articulates (more generally modern) ideas about individuation and affiliation through values of racial purity, cultural inheritance, and political (class, citizenship) status.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list. NOTE: Students must still submit a completed Drop/Add form to the Registrar's Office.
