Drawing upon Viennese writers, artists, and intellectuals, course texts by Freud, Joseph Roth, Ingeborg Bachmann and others establish the discursive tradition of the city as artwork, while readings by Adolf Loos, Arthur Schnitzler, Veza Canetti bring into focus the modernist critique of aestheticization of the urban landscape.; Crosslisted: COML.; Enrollment Limit: 15.00 Humanities, A: Meaning, Interpretation (Texts), B: Analysis of the Social World (; Hav: HU, A, B) |
