Course Description
Who were the symbolists? This course explores the work of late 19th-century poets, novelists, mystics and seers. The symbolists movement, which included the visual arts, established an avant-garde that broke with norms of representation and veered toward dreams, hallucinatory states of consciousness, heightened sensory experience and epiphany. We will read the poems of Rimbaud, Verlaine and Baudelaire as well as novels by Huysmans and Wilde. Expect to encounter woolly discourse, for the symbolists foreshadowed the advent of String Theory, abstract art and many other peculiar twists in modern ideas about "the real." Note: This course is held online.
Course Outcomes
After completing this course, students will be able to:
. Symbolism embodies a return to pre-Renaissance ideas; and it does so while marching
forward. We'll be analyzing canonical Symbolist works of literature and visual art in order to reveal our own inheritance: modern and post-modern concepts of nature and the self will emerge.
. This course illuminates many of Western art's most prized beliefs and widely shared goals, offering endless opportunities for the rigorous analysis of a movement encrypting itself in multi-layered codes.
. We'll learn how mysticism and contemporary life dovetail by exploring Symbolism's greatest thinkers.
. Group and individual writing projects will fuel class discussions, so we will be better writers when the summer session ends.
Course Requirements
Grades will be based on the following:
1. Final exam (3 pages)
2. Paper (5-7 pages)
3. In-class writing (1-2 pages each)
4. Attendance. After three absences, you will be dropped from the course.
