Ernest Hemingway once referred to Paris as a “Moveable Feast,” and he wrote a book under that title describing the city while he lived there along with other “ex-pats” such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein. Their presence is just the “tip of the iceberg” when it comes to the literature, arts, and philosophy that was produced in, or inspired by, Paris in the 1900s. Artists such as Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali, writers such as Henry Miller and Richard Wright, musicians like Josephine Baker and Sydney Bechet, and poets such as James Joyce and Allen Ginsberg all spent time in Paris. From Existentialism and Surrealism to Modernism and Postmodernism, and including philosophers such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Michel Foucault, Guy Debord, and Jean Baudrillard, the artistic and philosophical contributions that came out of Paris in this one century were some of most influential in modern history. Through the use the film, arts, fiction, theatre, poetry, prose and historical investigation, this class will explore all the rich production within Paris of this time period.
