SPAN 4956 - [Transatlantic Decadence](crosslisted) (also COML 4069 , FREN 4956 ) Spring. 4 credits.
Next offered 2014-2015.
B. Bosteels.
Approaching decadence and dandyism from a global perspective informed by imperial and colonial dynamics, we will read canonical statements from Baudelaire, Barbey d’Aurevilly, Marx, and Nietzsch side by side with essays and novels from across the Atlantic, including the Cuban Jose Marti, the Columbian Jose Asuncion Silva, the Venezuelan Manual Diaz Rodriguez, and the Uruguayans Juso Enrique Rodo, Delmira Agustini and Roberto de las Carreras. Theoretical texts informing our underlying framework include George Simmel, Carl Schmitt, Fredric Jameson, Angel Rama, Julio Ramos, Sylvia Molloy and Rita Felski.
