The machine, speed, technology, and the future were the watchwords of Futurists and other modernist groups. Revolutionary transformation on all fronts was the way forward. In the same period advances in science and technology radically changed the horizon of possibility. Yet other important artists and thinkers offered the contrasting view that the past remains alive in the present—both in individuals and in human cultures. Memory was key to the future. CWL 571 explores the role of slow time, memory, and impeded perception in modernism by reading theoretical and artistic work by Henri Bergson, Viktor Shklovsky, Walter Benjamin, Gilles Deleuze, David Bergelson, Virginia Woolf, and Osip Mandelshtam. No Russian required. Selected secondary literature supplements these readings. Class meets in Comparative Lit Libarary in Foreign Lang Bldg room 3014
