Course Content (Syllabus)
The course attempts to familiarise students with an expanded understanding of the phenomenon of Modernity, which is understood as the experience of modernisation in the terms this is perceived and reproduced in the Western world. The central argument we will investigate is precisely the successive Modernisms that constitute the condition of Modernity, the multiple, and often conflicting, constructions of the Modern in the dominant Western vocabulary during the 20th century, but also the most recent global alternatives. Lectures are organized weekly around central figures or fundamental notions of Modernity. The work of the leading protagonists of Modern historiography (Sigfried Giedion, Walter Gropius, Hannes Meyer, Mies van der Rohe, Philip Johnson, Manfredo Tafuri) is presented to highlight the breadth and complexity of the ideological basis of this condition that we commonly call the Modern. The remaining sections analyse basic concepts of Modernity (Colonialism, Humanism, Postmodernity, etc.) that reproduced, during the 20th century, the dominant conditions of patriarchy, colonialism and capitalism that are now challenged by new approaches in feminist and post-colonial studies.
