概要

TLDRVideyo a ofri yon ekspozisyon sou mouvman literè ki rele modènism, ki te devlope nan fen 19yèm syèk la toujou nan mitan 20yèm syèk la. Modènism te kanpe kòm yon chanjman radikal kont kwayans ak mouvman atistik ansyen yo, espesyalman kont epòk Victorian an. Faktè ki te pave chemen pou modènism te enkli revolisyon endistriyèl ak dezas 2 Gè Mondyal yo, ki te mennen yon pèt lafwa nan Bondye, gouvènman, ak bonte imen menm. Nan nivo syantifik, teyori Darwin, Marx, Freud, ak Nietzsche te pèmèt modènism devlope. Atistikman, enpresyonism, ekspresyonism, fitiwis, Dadaism, ak kibism te jwe yon wòl enpòtan nan etablisman mouvman an. Modènism te karakterize pa povens istorik ki te kraze, tèm ak tematik tankou paralizi, ilizyon, ak foli, ak yon estil ki gen naratè enkapab ak flachbak sofistike. Medam ki te rete nan mouvman sa yo te gen kòm ekriven angaje tankou Virginia Woolf ak James Joyce.

タイムライン

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    Pwofesè a prezante lekòl la sou mouvman literè modènism nan. Li eksplike ke lekòl sa a konsantre sou chanjman radikal ak enkoni nan ansyen kwayans literè ak morè etan viktoryèn yo. Modènism chache kreye yon nouvo apwòch ki souvan reprezante yon sòti na kaotik nan sosyete a.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    Li dekri faktè ki te mennen nan émergésans modènism, tankou endistriyalizasyon, dezas nan lagè mondyal yo, ak pèt lafwa nan Bondye ak gouvènman an. Lagè yo te kraze konfyans nan yon pòsitan mennen nan yon pi gwo konsantre sou endividi.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:00

    Rasin syantifik modènism enplike travay syantis tankou Darwin ak Freyd ki defye ansyen kwayans, fè nouvo fondman pou mouvman an. Darwin te chache ranverse ansyen panse sou limanite ak inivè, ak te fè kontribisyon enpòtan nan prepare tè a pou modènism.

  • 00:15:00 - 00:20:00

    Rasin atistik modènism enkli enpresyonism, ekspresyonism ak kiben, ki chache eksprime pi plis emosyon ak eksperyans sibjektif pase tradisyon literè anvan yo. Ekspresyonism, pa egzanp, bay yon ranfòsman nan emosyon ak sans ki subjektif.

  • 00:20:00 - 00:26:40

    Karakteristik modènism yo enkli yon konplo brize avèk kèk karaktè, chòk soti nan sot pase a, ak tèm moun k ap chèche verite ki souvan echwe. Style la anplwaye tounen nan tan, naratè ki pa fyab, epi souvan yon lang konplike pou rann eksperyans la pi rich ak diferan.

  • 00:01:00
    anyways with that being said we shall
  • 00:01:03
    start with the plan of the lecture first
  • 00:01:05
    which is we're going to start with the
  • 00:01:08
    definition of the movement we are going
  • 00:01:10
    to talk a little bit about the movement
  • 00:01:11
    we are going to give the period of the
  • 00:01:13
    movement of course who are going to talk
  • 00:01:15
    about the factors or the reasons or why
  • 00:01:18
    this movement emerged and we are going
  • 00:01:21
    to talk about the scientific roots of
  • 00:01:24
    the movement then we are going to talk
  • 00:01:25
    about the artistic roots and finally we
  • 00:01:28
    are going to talk about the
  • 00:01:30
    characteristics and within the
  • 00:01:32
    characteristics who are going to bring
  • 00:01:34
    up the plot the plot and themes and also
  • 00:01:39
    the style and even language and at the
  • 00:01:42
    end to round off for this video we are
  • 00:01:45
    going to talk about the some of the
  • 00:01:47
    modernist authors of course we have many
  • 00:01:52
    so I just picked only three and I hope
  • 00:01:55
    it will be enough but of course you can
  • 00:01:57
    find on find others on internet so with
  • 00:02:02
    our be set we shall start with the
  • 00:02:03
    definition modernism first it started in
  • 00:02:08
    the late nineteenth century until the
  • 00:02:10
    mid twentieth century so modernism
  • 00:02:13
    refers to the complete or even the
  • 00:02:16
    radical change from the old beliefs or
  • 00:02:20
    you can say the old artistic movements
  • 00:02:23
    in literature it's a change
  • 00:02:26
    sometimes it's considered to be a change
  • 00:02:28
    or a disruption
  • 00:02:30
    from the Victorian Way of doing or
  • 00:02:33
    morality and it can be a representation
  • 00:02:37
    of the chaotic picture of society so so
  • 00:02:42
    far when you talk about the change from
  • 00:02:47
    the old beliefs and when you say a
  • 00:02:50
    disruption from the Victorian way of
  • 00:02:54
    doing which means before modernism there
  • 00:02:56
    was an era called the Victorian era so
  • 00:03:00
    anything that was related to the era in
  • 00:03:03
    terms of notions IDs in general anything
  • 00:03:06
    that was ready to also to literature
  • 00:03:09
    modernist authors wanted to give up on
  • 00:03:13
    those IDs they wanted to create
  • 00:03:14
    something new something modern okay so
  • 00:03:18
    this is as far as the definition is
  • 00:03:19
    concerned we move to the factors of the
  • 00:03:22
    emergence of this movement who are going
  • 00:03:24
    to talk mainly about three factors the
  • 00:03:27
    first one is industrialization as usual
  • 00:03:30
    industry you should know that Industrial
  • 00:03:33
    Revolution if you want started way
  • 00:03:35
    before the 19th century we all know that
  • 00:03:38
    but it reached its peak in its peak
  • 00:03:41
    sorry in the late 19th century if you
  • 00:03:45
    want when you have such a such good
  • 00:03:49
    industry if you want prosperous industry
  • 00:03:52
    you have what we call the phenomenon of
  • 00:03:55
    urbanization when you have urbanization
  • 00:03:58
    you have a rapid growth of cities and of
  • 00:04:00
    course you have this population is
  • 00:04:04
    growing so fast and the the government
  • 00:04:08
    is trying to satisfy all the needs of
  • 00:04:12
    the population and so on and so forth it
  • 00:04:14
    leads to the world war which leads us to
  • 00:04:19
    the second point that is the horrors of
  • 00:04:22
    the world wars we have two world wars
  • 00:04:24
    the first and the second the first was
  • 00:04:26
    between 1914 and 1918 the second one is
  • 00:04:30
    between 1939 until 1945 so when you talk
  • 00:04:35
    about war which means there is death and
  • 00:04:37
    wood war which means almost all let's
  • 00:04:42
    say armed
  • 00:04:44
    all countries or nations participated in
  • 00:04:47
    these two world wars so the death is
  • 00:04:49
    let's say the the casualties is greater
  • 00:04:53
    so you can say that these are the
  • 00:04:57
    horrors that these two world wars left
  • 00:05:03
    have impacted if you want modernist
  • 00:05:07
    authors so this is what led also to the
  • 00:05:10
    emergence of this movement of course
  • 00:05:14
    after the the end of the world war the
  • 00:05:17
    both world war the two world wars sorry
  • 00:05:20
    um this marked a loss of faith faith in
  • 00:05:24
    what of course faith in God government
  • 00:05:28
    and human goodness you should you should
  • 00:05:30
    remember this the people or the
  • 00:05:32
    population lost faith in God why because
  • 00:05:36
    some some of them might tell you that if
  • 00:05:38
    God exists why did he let such massacres
  • 00:05:44
    happen here we mean the word wars even
  • 00:05:50
    the the population lost faith in the
  • 00:05:53
    government why because these governments
  • 00:05:56
    were supposed to protect the population
  • 00:05:58
    from any harm but sorry there was the
  • 00:06:01
    first who decided to go to war and also
  • 00:06:07
    and so on and so forth
  • 00:06:08
    and finally we have human goodness we'll
  • 00:06:12
    talk about the human goodness which
  • 00:06:14
    means human or human beings are supposed
  • 00:06:17
    to be good are supposed to be kind but
  • 00:06:20
    in time of wars you will find human in
  • 00:06:22
    their most savage image they kill each
  • 00:06:26
    other they destroy each other they
  • 00:06:29
    butter each other they murder each other
  • 00:06:31
    they do not care as long as they want to
  • 00:06:33
    survive so this resulted in a greater
  • 00:06:36
    focus on the individual so these are
  • 00:06:40
    some of the factors that led to the
  • 00:06:43
    emergence of this movement that we call
  • 00:06:45
    modernism now we move to the scientific
  • 00:06:48
    roots when we talk about the scientific
  • 00:06:51
    roots we mainly need to talk about
  • 00:06:55
    Darwin Karl
  • 00:06:58
    fraid and Nietzsche so these four let's
  • 00:07:02
    say men of letters scientists they have
  • 00:07:07
    contributed in the emergence of this
  • 00:07:11
    movement which means they prepared the
  • 00:07:14
    ground for modernism to emerge let's
  • 00:07:19
    talk about Darwin Darwin and Karl Marx I
  • 00:07:22
    mean both of them have contributed in
  • 00:07:25
    the loss of faith see Darwin is that you
  • 00:07:32
    can say that the IDS the theories of
  • 00:07:34
    Darwin are interrelated with the
  • 00:07:36
    movement itself because we said that
  • 00:07:38
    modernism refers to a complete or
  • 00:07:40
    radical change from the old beliefs old
  • 00:07:45
    beliefs darwin was doing so but
  • 00:07:49
    scientifically i mean the natural
  • 00:07:51
    selection of darwin for example since
  • 00:07:54
    this movement was about breaking off
  • 00:07:56
    from the old ways darwin sought to
  • 00:07:59
    overturn previous ways of thinking about
  • 00:08:02
    humans history and the universe which
  • 00:08:06
    means the theories of darwin and the
  • 00:08:10
    principles of modernism are interrelated
  • 00:08:12
    they have the same goal which is to
  • 00:08:14
    overturn or to break our from old
  • 00:08:17
    beliefs the second one is karl marx he
  • 00:08:22
    also contributed in the loss of faith
  • 00:08:27
    for example he denounced the
  • 00:08:30
    exploitation of men whether during the
  • 00:08:32
    world war or during the daily life if
  • 00:08:35
    you want you have the famous segment
  • 00:08:38
    fright when we talk about freight we
  • 00:08:42
    mainly I mean the first thing that comes
  • 00:08:45
    into our minds is psycho
  • 00:08:47
    and now so I mean I don't want to go
  • 00:08:50
    into details but if you want to learn
  • 00:08:52
    more but afraid you can you can file
  • 00:08:55
    that on internet but just to give you an
  • 00:08:58
    idea of course you have the the ID that
  • 00:09:02
    represents the desires of human being I
  • 00:09:04
    mean the instinct you have the super-ego
  • 00:09:06
    which means generally it's something
  • 00:09:08
    that gives you the moral
  • 00:09:11
    or I mean everything that is education
  • 00:09:14
    something that you use in order to
  • 00:09:16
    prevent yourself from doing something
  • 00:09:17
    bad and the ego is what we call the
  • 00:09:20
    reality principle and if you want a
  • 00:09:25
    super-ego is there to control the IDS
  • 00:09:28
    desires this is something that is
  • 00:09:30
    related to psychology and of course at
  • 00:09:32
    that time that was something
  • 00:09:33
    revolutionary and it is I mean until
  • 00:09:36
    today some psychiatrist use this and of
  • 00:09:40
    course this leads us to the next
  • 00:09:42
    scientist who is nature so nature wrote
  • 00:09:48
    a book that we call the twilight of the
  • 00:09:51
    idols I recently started to read this
  • 00:09:55
    book I highly advise you to read it it's
  • 00:09:58
    it's an amazing book
  • 00:10:00
    so Nietzsche tells us to destroy the
  • 00:10:02
    ideas we have currently have of course
  • 00:10:05
    in order in order to give birth to the
  • 00:10:08
    Superman inside us and mainly this
  • 00:10:12
    Superman is free so he's talking about
  • 00:10:14
    freedom
  • 00:10:14
    he also criticized so great is if you
  • 00:10:19
    want well this is as far as a scientific
  • 00:10:24
    roots are concerned now we move to the
  • 00:10:28
    artistic roots we start with
  • 00:10:32
    Impressionism it's not in artistic style
  • 00:10:36
    of course it started in friends and
  • 00:10:41
    impressionist Impressionists if you want
  • 00:10:43
    they seek to capture a feeling or
  • 00:10:48
    experience rather than depict accurate
  • 00:10:51
    depiction and perfection so they are
  • 00:10:54
    more into feelings and it's I mean
  • 00:10:58
    experience and all rather than doing the
  • 00:11:02
    things that used to be done by those who
  • 00:11:06
    belong to realism movement because at
  • 00:11:10
    that time they used to depict things as
  • 00:11:13
    they are of course this is among their
  • 00:11:15
    principles instituted to depict exactly
  • 00:11:18
    what they see but Impressionism all
  • 00:11:21
    those who belong to this movement of
  • 00:11:23
    course
  • 00:11:24
    they seek to capture a feeling like I
  • 00:11:26
    said or an experience rather than
  • 00:11:28
    depicting ACK accurate depiction and
  • 00:11:32
    perfection
  • 00:11:33
    the second artistic route that we are
  • 00:11:35
    going to mention is Expressionism it's
  • 00:11:37
    almost the same but not exactly it is an
  • 00:11:40
    art of expression to convey meaning and
  • 00:11:44
    emotion so here we we can say that it is
  • 00:11:48
    stronger than Impressionism but because
  • 00:11:51
    Impressionism sometimes Israel to light
  • 00:11:54
    colors and all and that's I mean it is
  • 00:11:58
    still in literature but it's a different
  • 00:12:00
    field than we were studying currently of
  • 00:12:04
    course each artist when I talk about
  • 00:12:07
    Expressionism each artist has his or her
  • 00:12:11
    of course own way of expressing their
  • 00:12:15
    emotions and of course even
  • 00:12:18
    Expressionism was against depiction then
  • 00:12:23
    we have the third artistic roots that is
  • 00:12:26
    futurism it originated in Italy or we
  • 00:12:30
    can say that it has Italian origins he
  • 00:12:35
    we can say those I mean those who belong
  • 00:12:39
    to this movement discarded the art of
  • 00:12:42
    the past and they celebrated the future
  • 00:12:46
    which means the development like I said
  • 00:12:48
    it is a radical change from the old
  • 00:12:51
    beliefs which means they they neglected
  • 00:12:54
    the old beliefs and they wanted
  • 00:12:56
    something new which is to celebrate the
  • 00:12:59
    future in this case of futurism of
  • 00:13:03
    course then we move to Dadaism so it was
  • 00:13:08
    a reaction to first world war and in
  • 00:13:14
    this in this movement in the in these or
  • 00:13:17
    in its principles if you want we find a
  • 00:13:21
    lot of nonsense in order to show how
  • 00:13:25
    meaningless Modern Life is then we are
  • 00:13:30
    going to go to the last point of the
  • 00:13:33
    artistic roots which is cubism
  • 00:13:37
    Cubism basically it's a rebellion
  • 00:13:40
    against the objective and logical
  • 00:13:44
    emphasis of the previous period it
  • 00:13:48
    places an emphasis on the subjective
  • 00:13:52
    mental experience
  • 00:13:55
    I mean artists include their experience
  • 00:13:59
    within their work it doesn't matter if
  • 00:14:01
    it's in writing or a written work or
  • 00:14:04
    spoken work or even something that is
  • 00:14:07
    related to painting so this this cubism
  • 00:14:12
    is mainly known for the paintings so
  • 00:14:17
    these are the things or the roots by
  • 00:14:20
    with scientific roots and artistic roots
  • 00:14:24
    now we move to the characteristics of
  • 00:14:27
    this so in terms of the characteristics
  • 00:14:33
    we'll start with the plot in the plot we
  • 00:14:37
    find few characters and it is usually
  • 00:14:42
    fragmented which means it doesn't follow
  • 00:14:44
    the chronological order in other words
  • 00:14:47
    for example you start in 1920 for
  • 00:14:51
    example within a story any given story
  • 00:14:53
    you start with 1920 then you go until
  • 00:14:56
    1939 and you come back to 1925 and you
  • 00:15:01
    come back to 1921 or 20 it means it is
  • 00:15:04
    fragment it is it is broken it doesn't
  • 00:15:06
    it doesn't follow the chronological
  • 00:15:10
    order and there is something that I call
  • 00:15:14
    reminiscence which is related to
  • 00:15:16
    memories it's the ability to recall or
  • 00:15:20
    to remember something about the past so
  • 00:15:24
    this is as far as the plot is concerned
  • 00:15:26
    of course you might find something else
  • 00:15:29
    but I for me personally I think it's
  • 00:15:32
    enough to know about the plot then we
  • 00:15:35
    have the themes so past intrusion into
  • 00:15:40
    the present which means some events that
  • 00:15:44
    have happened in the past usually they
  • 00:15:47
    come back in the story the second point
  • 00:15:50
    is
  • 00:15:51
    you will find that the characters of the
  • 00:15:55
    a modernist work they seek the truth
  • 00:16:00
    happiness joy and even comfort and you
  • 00:16:05
    will see that these characters mostly I
  • 00:16:08
    can say usually fail they live in misery
  • 00:16:11
    and usually ends with a death and the
  • 00:16:15
    sitting is mostly like to be like a
  • 00:16:19
    decayed sitting and destroyed one you
  • 00:16:24
    have also paralysis paralysis basically
  • 00:16:29
    it's you know after the war when when
  • 00:16:33
    the war ends nothing moves absolutely
  • 00:16:36
    nothing you have no economy you have no
  • 00:16:39
    house you have no family so everything
  • 00:16:41
    is static nothing moved so what we mean
  • 00:16:45
    by paralysis then we have this illusion
  • 00:16:47
    myth this point is very important
  • 00:16:50
    because you know after the end of the
  • 00:16:53
    wall this will equal the climate of the
  • 00:16:55
    post-war if you want first of I mean
  • 00:16:59
    firstly there's nothing moves of course
  • 00:17:02
    and you know there is something like
  • 00:17:06
    everyone is disappointed because if you
  • 00:17:10
    take the victorious people and those who
  • 00:17:13
    lost the war those who lost the war they
  • 00:17:16
    thought that they will fighting for
  • 00:17:17
    victory and all and at the end they lose
  • 00:17:21
    the war they lose their homes they lose
  • 00:17:23
    their economy there was a lot of things
  • 00:17:25
    so they are disappointing this this
  • 00:17:27
    that's a feeling of disappointment is
  • 00:17:30
    called this illusion meant and it is
  • 00:17:32
    found in the modernist works and we have
  • 00:17:37
    another point that is madness madness I
  • 00:17:39
    don't know if you have read some of the
  • 00:17:43
    poems of William Faulkner I remember
  • 00:17:47
    that I mean I do paraphrase of course I
  • 00:17:51
    do not remember the exact words but
  • 00:17:53
    there was someone's mom who died and
  • 00:17:57
    seen her on in the coffin of course
  • 00:18:00
    floating on the water the person
  • 00:18:04
    says my mom is a fish of course I might
  • 00:18:08
    think that it's absurd and of course
  • 00:18:11
    absurd is also the another another theme
  • 00:18:14
    found in sorry in in modernist works so
  • 00:18:20
    he said that my my mom is a fish of
  • 00:18:24
    course for the character I mean the
  • 00:18:27
    character here is insane but it leads to
  • 00:18:30
    something else
  • 00:18:31
    not only the theme here is madness
  • 00:18:34
    but it is symbolic symbolism is let's
  • 00:18:38
    say it's it is included in the style are
  • 00:18:41
    going to talk about it later on but it
  • 00:18:43
    is also absurd and absurd is another
  • 00:18:45
    theme to something that is absurd is
  • 00:18:47
    something that cannot be accepted by
  • 00:18:49
    your mind something that is irrational
  • 00:18:51
    it's not logical
  • 00:18:52
    it cannot be accepted and among the
  • 00:18:56
    minor themes as well they have the loss
  • 00:18:58
    of faith like I said you will find
  • 00:18:59
    characters a losing faith in God
  • 00:19:02
    government and even I mean even in human
  • 00:19:07
    goodness then you have rebellion because
  • 00:19:10
    since the the movement itself is a
  • 00:19:13
    rebellion so you will find rebellions in
  • 00:19:17
    the themes and of course you have you
  • 00:19:22
    have alienation so when it comes to
  • 00:19:25
    alienation or in French alienation
  • 00:19:29
    it means like you will find some of the
  • 00:19:32
    characters they change their point of
  • 00:19:37
    view or their feelings about something
  • 00:19:39
    for example they used to love someone a
  • 00:19:42
    character used to love someone and then
  • 00:19:43
    they change they're not loving that
  • 00:19:46
    person anymore or maybe they used to
  • 00:19:48
    feel good with their families for
  • 00:19:50
    example man one day they're not and then
  • 00:19:52
    they leave the house and you will have
  • 00:19:54
    plots subplots and all and so forth and
  • 00:19:57
    so on and so forth so this is alienation
  • 00:19:59
    you have fragmentation like I said
  • 00:20:01
    something that is broken something that
  • 00:20:03
    does not follow the chronological order
  • 00:20:07
    and of course you have primitivism
  • 00:20:10
    primitivism basically it's the famous
  • 00:20:15
    the famous thing they said
  • 00:20:17
    if we understand the primitive men we
  • 00:20:19
    will understand the modern man if you
  • 00:20:22
    want then you have legends are also
  • 00:20:26
    found legends basically might be found
  • 00:20:29
    in in every movement not all of them but
  • 00:20:30
    basically then you have the absurd like
  • 00:20:33
    I said something that cannot be accepted
  • 00:20:36
    by one's mind then we move to the style
  • 00:20:40
    we'll talk about the style the the
  • 00:20:45
    writer uses flashbacks so the use of
  • 00:20:49
    flashbacks if you want sometimes the
  • 00:20:51
    story starts in the past I mean they
  • 00:20:56
    start with something that is not set in
  • 00:21:00
    the time of the story itself for example
  • 00:21:02
    the story happens between for example
  • 00:21:07
    1960 and I don't know like let's say
  • 00:21:11
    1920 and 1930 but the beginning of the
  • 00:21:15
    story will start for example in not in
  • 00:21:17
    1817 for example so this is what would
  • 00:21:21
    we mean by a flashback you go back into
  • 00:21:23
    the past but this has a purpose of
  • 00:21:26
    course in order to give you a piece of
  • 00:21:27
    information if you want and we have the
  • 00:21:29
    second point that is unreliable narrator
  • 00:21:31
    so sometimes the narrator has a problem
  • 00:21:36
    with a character in case the narrator is
  • 00:21:39
    within the story so you cannot trust the
  • 00:21:44
    narrator because he doesn't like or he
  • 00:21:47
    has let's say a distorted opinion about
  • 00:21:51
    something about an event so they might
  • 00:21:53
    change it this is what leads to not
  • 00:21:56
    another point that is the readers
  • 00:21:58
    contribute to the meaning of the story
  • 00:22:02
    for example when you know that you
  • 00:22:04
    cannot trust the narrator which means
  • 00:22:07
    you have to deduce the meaning this what
  • 00:22:12
    leads also to multiple narrators as well
  • 00:22:15
    you have a lot of narrators of course um
  • 00:22:20
    this in order to give you or to give the
  • 00:22:22
    reader different point of views then we
  • 00:22:28
    have repeat
  • 00:22:31
    I mean many things are repeated during
  • 00:22:33
    the I mean doing the overall story and
  • 00:22:38
    something about the hero the hero is
  • 00:22:43
    usually lonely or you can say that
  • 00:22:46
    withdrawn and sometimes his psychotic
  • 00:22:49
    and an intellectual at the same time
  • 00:22:52
    this hero usually struggles and fights
  • 00:22:56
    but at the end they fail and of course
  • 00:23:00
    when you talk about the move of the
  • 00:23:02
    story you will start with a hard
  • 00:23:04
    situation then there's a struggling
  • 00:23:07
    misery and at the end there is failure
  • 00:23:10
    and of course like I said there is
  • 00:23:12
    symbolism same example with William
  • 00:23:16
    Faulkner who said that his I mean the
  • 00:23:23
    character in his poem says or said my
  • 00:23:26
    mom is is a fish so for us let's say the
  • 00:23:30
    first time we hear about this we can say
  • 00:23:33
    this it's absurd it's also madness but
  • 00:23:37
    it symbolizes something this is what we
  • 00:23:42
    mean by symbolism and at the end we are
  • 00:23:45
    going to talk about the language and it
  • 00:23:46
    is something that it's not long language
  • 00:23:50
    is complex language is dense and also
  • 00:23:53
    elliptical and very difficult why do
  • 00:23:57
    they use this kind of language in order
  • 00:23:58
    to search for new artistic ways then
  • 00:24:02
    finally to Randolph who are going to
  • 00:24:04
    move to some of the authors of the
  • 00:24:06
    movement the first one that are going to
  • 00:24:09
    mention is TS Eliot if you want and we
  • 00:24:13
    will all agree that Eliot was very smart
  • 00:24:19
    and talented his his poems are amazing
  • 00:24:26
    outstanding if you want he wrought
  • 00:24:29
    Hollow Men The Waste Land
  • 00:24:32
    which is absolutely related to modernist
  • 00:24:34
    literature if you want if we tie for
  • 00:24:37
    example any on internet The Waste Land
  • 00:24:39
    it will directly lead you to modernist
  • 00:24:42
    literature it is
  • 00:24:44
    known for modernism is also low known
  • 00:24:47
    for this this piece of work we have
  • 00:24:52
    another Arthur if you want we have James
  • 00:24:55
    Joyce who is an Irishman from Dublin
  • 00:24:58
    Joyce is mostly known for his novels
  • 00:25:00
    though he'll write poetry sometimes
  • 00:25:02
    plays and essays if you want
  • 00:25:04
    he also wrote he wrote The Dubliners
  • 00:25:11
    finding in his wake
  • 00:25:12
    pollicis so he's one of the most
  • 00:25:17
    important writers of the movement of
  • 00:25:19
    course then you have the famous Virginia
  • 00:25:24
    Woolf Woolf was an important pioneer of
  • 00:25:28
    the stream-of-consciousness technique
  • 00:25:30
    though the mind of an average person was
  • 00:25:33
    not considered interesting or important
  • 00:25:35
    enough by earlier writers to merit
  • 00:25:37
    elevating it to I mean to elevate this
  • 00:25:41
    this concept to art for Woolf and for
  • 00:25:45
    other modernists it was the most
  • 00:25:47
    important thing the best subject a
  • 00:25:50
    writer could choose
  • 00:25:52
    she wrote a Room of One's one's own
  • 00:25:55
    Sherrod Orlando as well and many other
  • 00:26:00
    of his works her work sorry can be found
  • 00:26:03
    on internet well this would be it for
  • 00:26:06
    today's lecture I hope I made things
  • 00:26:08
    clear for you and I hope you have quest
  • 00:26:12
    something and if you have any kind of
  • 00:26:15
    questions feel free to ask them in the
  • 00:26:16
    comments below otherwise I tell you see
  • 00:26:19
