What is a nation and how does it come into existence? What role do literature and the arts play in creating and contesting national myths and identities? This course introduces literary study within the context and theme of Czech nationalism and identity. We will be looking at Czech literature and culture from the 19th century to World War II, emphasizing Czech national identity as reflected in literature, art, music, and film. How does a nation rebuild and (re) define itself through its literature and arts after centuries of occupation and subjugation and erasure. The course examines these issues in the context of Czech culture. Course materials include literary texts, films, and reproductions of visual artworks.
