The cataclysmic destruction of the First World War ushered in explosive cultural and artistic developments in Paris and Berlin in the 1920s. This course examines the artistic and cultural worlds of Paris and Berlin in the interwar period. We will discuss the connections between the social, cultural, and political changes that reshaped conceptions of modernity and “civilization.”
