European and Russian Avant-Garde
COL 319 SP

This interdisciplinary study of Russian modernism and avant-garde in the European context before and after the 1917 Revolution will examine the radical utopian experiment in literature, visual arts and film. Readings will include contemporary critical and theoretical writing on the arts. The course will explore the tensions between the artist and the revolution, and the clash of modernism and modernity in the early Stalinist period.
