| Course Overview |
In the first semester of "American Literature Studies V," the early works of Ernest Hemingway, the national writer of 20th-century America, were analyzed, focusing on the dynamic relationship between his works and the political culture of the time. In this course, using Hemingway's 1939 novel For Whom the Bell Tolls as a focal point, we will analyze the relationship between the text and the cultural politics of the 1930s America. The 1930s in America was an era of streamlined modernization and efficiency under the technocratic policies of the New Deal, closely related to the contemporary technological society. Written around the same time as the 1939 New York World's Fair, which celebrated the machine age of the new era in America, this text seems to contain its political relationship with that period. We will consider new interpretations of the text that go beyond the conventional interpretation centered around the Spanish Civil War and explore new perspectives. |
