Regardless of label, Strindberg?s impact on Western literature and art is indisputable. In this course you will explore the scope of these contributions from comparative and international perspectives. These highlight an idiosyncratic and fascinating production, evident in unique articulations of naturalist and psychological drama, painting and photography, and forays into expressionism and surrealism. Strindberg?s influence on English-language drama will be emphasized; readings by Beckett, Albee, O'Neill or Sarah Kane included. Celebrating a centenary commemoration of August Strindberg?s in 2012, this course is offered in conjunction with several high-profile Strindberg events during fall 2012. These include a Krannert Center for the Arts Production of A Dream Play and numerous guest lectures and workshops by international and US experts on Strindberg, art, performance, and modern drama. All readings and assignments in English. The course is open to advanced undergraduate and graduate students.
