| 授業概要 | The great changes of the twentieth century resulted from the Enlightenment’s privileging of rationalism diluted the influence of religion; the Industrial Revolution bringing mechanization into the workplace; and urbanization further separating humans from nature. Behind these movements hovered Romanticism’s celebration of the specialness of each person’s imagination and existence, the steady erosion of feudalism in favor of capitalism, and the rise of the nation state and the idea of national identity. Then came World War One and the mass slaughter of the newly arisen ‘common man.’ In aftermath of these enormous social and cultural changes, Anglophone writers joined their European counterparts in struggling to understand the place of the individual in a rapidly modernizing world. This course will sample some prominent literary explorations of selfhood in the face of these changes. The challenges of creating and maintaining a sense of self often proved too great. Alienation – whether voluntary or involuntary – became a main focus of novels, short stories, and poetry. The spring semester will concentrate on America, and how despite the promise of freedom, democracy, and the enshrinement of the pursuit of happiness in the national ethos, literature often found itself both lamenting and celebrating aliens and outsiders of various kinds. This is also a course on reading, writing, thinking and discussion. As such, we seek to gain a deeper understanding of the value of critical responses to ideas, assumptions, and theories, and the ways literary texts can challenge us to rethink our relationship to the world. We also seek to hone our abilities as close readers of texts; as critical thinkers; as participants in lively, engaging, civil and enlightening discussions; and as writers of clearly and concisely argued literary-critical essays. |
