“Make it new” – during the early 20th century modernist writers produced some of the most innovative and exciting literary texts in English. We’ll examine just why modernists declared it was time to “make it new!” and rejected the certainty of tradition. We’ll read revolutionary modernist fictions and manifestos, sound poems, experimental plays and ground-breaking films. In this subject, we&#39;ll explore modernism as an umbrella term for a multitude of literary responses to modern life - varied, contradictory and contested - and introduce central concepts used in modernist studies. We&#39;ll move between centres of modernist writing, such as London, Zurich, Paris, Berlin and New York to encounter key literary figures and artistic groups who all tried to break new ground in different ways.We will examine questions surrounding the creative tensions between tradition and experiment, the &#39;difficulty&#39; of modernist writing, high- and middlebrow fiction, postcolonial perspectives, gender politics, our own academic practices and the literary canon. Throughout the subject, we will read modernist writing in the context of political &amp; cultural events, as well as contemporary developments in art, film and music. This is a level 3 subject. Please consider the subject pre-requisites before enrolling.

This subject provides both a theoretical and practical overview of project management as it relates to technology-oriented projects.
