SP24 CWL 571 Harriet Murav Topic: National Modernisms The study of modernism has long been dominated by the assumption that its practice was to be found primarily in western Europe and that its practitioners took an internationalist stance. More recent approaches stress instead the relation between national and transnational, and significantly, “a variety of affiliations across and within national spaces,” as Douglas Mao and Rebecca Walkowitz put it. In an era of increasing ethnonationalism, how can national modernisms function beyond national spaces and still retain their difference? We will engage older and newer theoretical takes on the question and read samples of national modernist works from both within and beyond western Europe.
