1 VERSIONS OF REALISM Michael Jones
2 MODULE OUTLINE In the long, ongoing period of cultural modernity, realism has become the most obdurate, ubiquitous, malleable, and persistent of artistic modes. Variously understood as a period, genre, style, or movement, as both reflection of nature and function of technology, as wildly revolutionary and deeply conservative, realism tends to be everywhere, in part, because we are not sure what it is exactly. This diffuseness around the term's use, however, is belied by the ease with which the term is used to designate works of art. In one of its most famous guises, realism plays the part of the antecedent (Oedipal) other that modernism seeks to destroy, or at least displace. And yet, this understanding of realism (and modernism) fails to register both the survival of realist concerns and textual manoeuvres in modernist texts and the way in which realist forms themselves (if we are even able to pin them down as such) already articulate many or most of modernism's ideological and aesthetic claims. This module will explore theories and histories of realism and will attempt to apprehend realism's elusiveness through a series of rubrics: the type, the document, the literal, totality, reflection, revolution, transparency, impersonality, populism, prescience, contingency, necessity, irruption and mourning. ASSESSMENT MODE This module is assessed by a 5000-word essay. Please check Sussex Direct for up-to-date details of assessment modes and deadlines.
