Why bother with the 20th Century Humanities Course??
Because great great grandma was not telling us the whole story!!
The 20th Century was a period of immense transformation and upheaval in various aspects of human life, making it a particularly fascinating and dynamic era for studying the humanities. It experienced cultural and artistic revolutions, World Wars and political upheavals, and Scientific and technological advancements!
Who can forget significant cultural clashes and the rise of identity politics?! Issues surrounding race, gender, sexuality,
and class became prominent topics of discussion and activism.
If this doesn't create an existential and philosophical crisis when looking at Abuela's photo album, maybe instead, the Renaissance class is for you!
COURSE SUBJECT MATTER:
(but not limited to)
The Freudian Revolution and the Discovery of the Unconscious Mind
The Advent of Modernism
The impact of the two World Wars on artistic expression and the development of ideas.
The recognition of cultural and individual identity in the Modern and Postmodern World.
Globalization and technology's impact on world cultures.
