* DISTRIBUTION COURSE: GROUP I

development and mutual interaction of two predominant strains of
artistic culture: The modernist and the avant-garde, examing in
particular their social and political presuppositions (from the old Left
to the New Left to the development of micro-politics), and discussing
their relation to Pre-War counterparts and models.
