2 Modernism & Beyond The Prequel
Victorian Age Growth (economical…social…moral…fields) Enthusiasm Critical reaction to situation Slums Inhuman conditions Pollution

3 Modernism & Beyond The Intro
History & Technology (the long century) New Discoveries & New Theories heavily influenced this period. Historical events (the 2 World Wars!) are both causes and consequences of this new situation.

4 Modernism & Beyond The Facts Nietzsche & Darwin: *God Is Dead* & The Evolution Theory We’re alone in this world. No God above us. We are not the product of a divine act, but a random consequence of life evolution We are not the centre of the universe.

5 Modernism & Beyond The Facts (2)
Einstein: The Theory Of Relativity: Science has no answers. The universe is based on laws which are not deterministic. Sigmund Freud: The birth of Psychoanalysis. The discovery of the super-ego. The truth is inside of us, so it’s individualistic!

6 Modernism & Beyond Uncertainties about values, meanings
Individualistic approach to morals Seeking shelter into feelings, emotions Subjectivity vs. Objectivity Individualism vs. Socialization Modern vs. Ancient

7 Modernism & Beyond So Prose >>>

8 Modernism & Beyond So (2)

10 Modernism & Beyond Beyond Modernism: Post-Modernism. Authors who refuse even the modernist approach with its basic (anti)rules: Stream Of Consciousness, Symbolism and Absurd. That is, they deconstruct art ultimately. Art is what the author chooses. Anything can become art.
