HSS 485 Advanced Interdisciplinary Seminar in Post-Modernism International Relations & Political Science Program Fall 2021 Semester CEA & AAU Hybrid - Prague

Postmodernism was the most significant cultural phenomenon of the second half of the 20th century. This seminar will explore the philosophical and social background of the movement, as well as the art and literature that grew out of it, including some of the most notable masterpieces of the period. Postmodern thinking was highly suspicious of grand narratives, and emphasised irreconcilable discourses and point of view. Literary writing influenced by the movement tends to be hybridic, highly experimental, and playfully metafictional.
