Description: This introductory seminar will examine the response by artists, architects, critics, and filmmakers to fascism, protofascism, and totalitarianism in Europe from 1905 to 1945. Particular attention will be paid to the differing ways in which authoritarianism becomes manifest in the specific cultural and historical conditions of France, Germany, Italy, the Soviet Union, and Spain, and the ways in which antimodernist artistic production in turn responds to this specificity.
