Along the way, and with the discourse of Modernism/Modernity as a kind of ideational background, we will grapple with some of the leading ideas that have ?entranced the minds of men? throughout the cycles of modern history, with special focus on a number of recurrent demons of history: Imperialism, Anti-Semitism, Fascism, etc. Don?t worry, though: in preparation for the journey into the dark ?heart of man,? before we enter these fraught territories (and probably on the way out, too), we shall all partake in a ?big antiseptic bath.? Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
