There is renewed scholarly interest in the term decadence. Originally denoting a tendency in art and literature departing from France (Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Huysmans) with later followers in Britain (Pater, Wilde, Beardsley), "decadence" was long dismissed by scholars as too vague a concept and became effectively replaced by words like aestheticism or symbolism, and/or was identified with an early phase of modernism. However, recent uses of the term see decadence more broadly as a cultural phenomenon, capturing was happens when orders (political, social, cultural, economic, artistic) weaken or "crumble", i.e. lose their authority and give way to a plethora of alternative (pseudo-)orientations.
This course will begin by taking a look at "classical" accounts and literary examples of decadence, and will then proceed to ask in what way decadence can be applied as a critical concept to make sense of historical and present-day developments, crises, and social transformations.
Literatur Course material will be made available on moodle.
Leistungsnachweis Testat: oral in-class presentation to be submitted in written form by the end of the semester.
