Looks at relations between language and visual form in the development of European modernism. Readings include works by Baudelaire, Pound, Joyce, Mallarmé, Woolf, Apollinaire, Lewis, Benjamin. Studies creative innovation as expression of utopian imagination, on a historical spectrum from Romantic synaesthesia, the interchange of sensory and cognitive pathways as desired transcendence, to the productive, open dislocations of modern capitalist society. Examines a wider cultural history of the integration of verbal and visual signs, and parallels in music, painting and theatre.
