【Course Objectives】

This course is designed to rethink British modernist literature from the perspective of 'affect' theory- one of the fashionable themes in recent literary studies. This perspective works to foreground the fascinating differences and similarities between literature as a verbal art and painting as a visual art. Students are trained and encouraged to discuss literature from this kind of new perspective.

【Course Contents】

The discussion in this course will be based on the American Marxist theorist Fredric Jameson's argument on realism, which allows for new and insightful reinterpretations of what can be called 'painterly moments' in literary texts. From this point of departure, the course will reinterpret the British art critic Roger Fry's idea of 'post-impressionism', while at the same time reading modernist texts by Virginia Woolf, Katherine Mansfield and Joseph Conrad. Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis will also be discussed. It is possible to point out British psychical research and the gold standard as historical contexts for these modernist problematics of 'affect'. At the same time, the modernist significance of materialism in these historical contexts will also be considered. The aim of the course is thus to provide a new historical perspective from which to rethink modernist art and literature.
