In 1913, old structures in the arts, music, literature, psychology, and
many other fields were shattered. The European paintings by men like
Picasso, Matisse and Duchamps in New York’s Armory Show made art in
America look old; Schoenberg’s Gurrelieder made Mozart sound old; in
Paris Coco Chanel made sexiness look new; but Josef Stalin, writing a
treatise about nationalism in Vienna, knew that Europe’s bourgeoisie was
as old as Austria’s Kaiser and its political systems as superannuated
as the Habsburg Empire. Although Oswald Spengler was writing his
Decline of the West, no one expected that within four years the old
world had been completely destroyed.
In the course of the year, we will be examining key works of the period that convey the political, social, and ethical concerns in a world on the brink of explosion. The plays, novels and essays were written in Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Prague, Munich, and Moscow; they show societies dancing on the rim of a volcano.
Das Seminar What Is German? ist eine monatliche Diskussions- gruppe, die von Susanne Klingenstein moderiert wird. Die Treffen sind für jeden offen. Um vergangene Diskussionen anschauen zu können, gehen Sie bitte zu
