>   CPLT 277-1 – Paris, Capital of the 19th Century
>   Professor Heidi Brevik-Zender
>   Taking as its point of departure Walter Benjamin’s
>   well-known formulation of Paris as the capital of
>   the 19th century, this course will focus on the
>   complex literary construction of French modernity in
>   the nineteenth century read both through and against
>   Benjamin’s modernist construction of the period.
>   Topics explored include post-Romanticism aesthetics,
>   industrialization and Haussmannization, fashion, the
>   expansion of mass culture, the flâneur, decadence,
>   symbolism and the emergence of modernism. Primary
>   texts by authors such as Balzac, Baudelaire,
>   Gautier, Zola, Rachilde, Maupassant, Mallarmé, and
>   Benjamin.
