Skrócony opis: |
One of the defining aspects of interwar Paris was the massive influx of American expatriates, flooding the city with literature, art, and music. Writers from Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway, and Ezra Pound took up residence, while many others visited to engage in the international arts community. This course will look at American literary production connected to Paris from this time to explore the various racial, gender, and political dynamics which arose. Specifically, we look at fiction, memoirs, magazines, maps, and other visual and audio materials to explore Paris as a space as it was lived by American authors active in this period. |
