Course orientation –
This course will provide you with a breadth of literary works, other artwork, and intellectual concepts formed in the twentieth century. Although a great deal of the literature that is studied and highlighted from the twentieth century is that of American authors, this course attempts to also share quite a bit of work from international authors of the time. The attempt to portray a broader picture of literature and literary contexts of the time through the incorporation of international artists and their works does present challenges, as there was more freedom to publish in America, compared to many countries, at that time and because it is easier to gain open access to materials published in America..
Each week you are presented with a lot of choices, so please read the instructions thoroughly and ask if you have any questions.
You are encouraged and at times required to use the literary terms provided each week to help you analyze the literature. Use the glossary of literary terms, as well as the internet, to help you gain a deeper understanding of the meaning of the literary terms and their role in analyzing literature.
Each week you are provided the biographies of all artists. Reading the biographies can help you to understand the literature as their work, especially the themes presented in the literature, are often discussed in the biographies. In addition, your midterm will focus on the lives of three major influencers of the time (at least one writer) who we study during the course. The biographies can help you to learn about who you are interested in studying more about.
The week 10 paper will focus on identity so as you read and view the works in each week you will want to think about how the works help us understand identity.
The entire course is a preparation for the final exam as in the final exam you will discuss how you have grown from analyzing the literature, learning about the authors' lives and using the literary terminology to form your analysis.

Turn of the Century
The end of the 19th century into the 20th century was a time of great societal change, which influenced how public artists and intellectuals began to view and portray the world. The major shifts in society lead to the modernist, and later, the postmodernist, mindset reflected in 20th-century literature, art, and intellectual contexts. The major shifts in society lead to the modernist, and later the postmodernist, mindset reflected in 20th-century literature, art, and intellectual contexts.
A few significant influencers of this time were Walt Whitman, Henri de Toulouse Lau-Trec, Sigmund Freud and Richard Strauss. By reading through, viewing and listening to their works and thoughts, a snapshot of how 20th Century literature and modern identities began to form.

Surrealism Definition -
Absurdism Definition - get a less deep definition
Among the most famous ideas associated with existentialism is that of 'absurdity'. Human existence might be described as 'absurd' in one of the following senses. First, many existentialists argued that nature as a whole has no design, no reason for existing. Although the natural world can apparently be understood by physical science or metaphysics, this might be better thought of as 'description' than either understanding or explanation. Thus, the achievements of the natural sciences also empty nature of value and meaning. Unlike a created cosmos, for example, we cannot expect the scientifically described cosmos to answer our questions concerning value or meaning. Moreover, such description comes at the cost of a profound falsification of nature: namely, the positing of ideal entities such as 'laws of nature', or the conflation of all reality under a single model of being. Human beings can and should become profoundly aware of this lack of reason and the impossibility of an immanent understanding of it. Camus, for example, argues that the basic scene of human existence is its confrontation with this mute irrationality. A second meaning of the absurd is this: my freedom will not only be undetermined by knowledge or reason but from the point of view of the latter my freedom will even appear absurd. Absurdity is thus closely related to the theme of 'being on its own', which we discussed above under the heading of anxiety. Even if I choose to follow a law that I have given myself, my choice of law will appear absurd, and likewise will my continuously reaffirmed choice to follow it. Third, human existence as action is doomed to always destroy itself. A free action, once done, is no longer free; it has become an aspect of the world, a thing. The absurdity of human existence then seems to lie in the fact that in becoming myself (a free existence) I must be what I am not (a thing). If I do not face up to this absurdity, and choose to be or pretend to be thing-like, I exist inauthentically (the terms in this formulation are Sartre's). ---From the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy

During weeks 8 and 9 how artists begin to emerge in the modern and postmodern era to examine the notion of gender and sexuality. We will seek to understand the challenges of these artists, how these works and issues of gender and sexuality have helped shape modernism and postmodernism. These artists often struggled to have their voices heard, and that position gives us an important perspective on modern life. There is so much more literature by female writers on the topics of gender and sexuality from the twentieth century and it is challenging to find representing from male voices, though the male voice is presented. Although many artists were gender nonconformists, openly transgender writers of the twentieth century were not available as open access resources.
