Reading: Gloria Fiero, (2015). The Humanistic Tradition: The Early Modern World to the Present. Vol. 2, 7th edition. McGraw Hill. ISBN-10: 1259351688, ISBN-13: 978-1259351686.
see tHumor as a Postmodern Creative Device: Much of postmodern literature, architecture, and art could be considered “funny,” as it often parodies earlier art forms or cultural icons. Choose three creative efforts reproduced in Fiero to discuss in terms of how humor is used to comment on modern culture. Analyze each example in terms of what message or meaning you believe the artist intended and why humor or parody was incorporated into the piece. Was the use of humor appropriate, necessary, and effective? Choose your examples from following list of visual art, sculpture, and architecture included in Fiero. (Sixth edition: Figure 36.4, 36.5, 36.10, 37.5, 37.6, 37.15, 37.21, 38.17. Seventh edition: Figure 36.4, 36.5, 36.11, 37.5, 37.6, 37.16, 37.21, 38.6, 38.10, 38.12. )
The Quest for Racial Equality: As Fiero notes, “The most turbulent movement of the twentieth century addressed the issue of racial equality.” She quotes writer James Baldwin who declared, “You write in order to change the world.” Assuming this is one of the goals of all twentieth century black authors, examine how Richard Wright (reading 36.5), Dr. Martin Luther King (reading 36.6), Ralph Ellison (reading 36.8), and Alice Walker (6th edition, reading 36.9) address the quest for racial equality each using a different spirit and sentiment. Which authors “speak” to you, individually, more clearly? Explain. It is not necessary to discuss all four readings, but be specific in your development and support your points with illustrations and brief quotations from the readings.
Chaos and Disintegration in Twentieth Century Culture: Yeats' poem “The Second Coming” contains the line, “Things fall apart; the center cannot hold,” which characterizes the chaos, anxiety, and uncertainty of life after World War I. Choose two or three works of literature, visual art, or music created after 1921 and presented in Fiero that explore this theme. Analyze the works specifically. How do they confirm or deny the idea presented in Yeats' quotation/ topics in the message section
