ENGL 475 - Time Travels

5 credit hours

A course that uses interdisciplinary work on modernity and postmodernity – from such fields as philosophy, cultural history, new media studies, and critical geography – in order to study the history and importance of the theme of time in twentieth-century literature and culture. The first half of the course is devoted to modernism’s obsession with time. The second half focuses on the rise of time-travel narratives and alternate-history fantasies. BE
