230640 The Modern Maze. Cityscapes in Literature (S) (SoSe 2010)

Contents, comment

The course will look at great cities through the ages in literature: London at the time of Charles Dickens, with its dark and grimy industrial aspects and its many suffering poor, or London as a great modern metropolitan labyrinth, in which, for example, Sherlock Holmes traces the marks of crime; Paris, the centre of modern art in the early twentieth century, teeming with Bohemian life and eccentric artists, or Venice at the time of Shakespeare, a place of commerce and diverse cultural encounters; Berlin in the 1920s, a hub of the new medium film and a site of sexual liberation, or Vienna at the beginning of the twentieth century as the home of psychoanalysis.
Naturally the course will cross over into other fields, such as sociology, the visual arts, film, etc.
