Cilj
Kolegij stavlja naglasak na angažiran rad studenata u susretu s književnim i ostalim tekstovima američkog modernizma kako bi se studenti temeljito upoznali s književnopovijesnim i širim društvenim značajkama tog perioda te ovladali vještinama i metodologijom analize kulturne i književne proizvodnje. Važni ciljevi ovog kolegija su i vježbanje sposobnosti studenata za pismenu analizu književnih tekstova te za kritičko promišljanje društvenopovijesnog konteksta u kojem nastaju.
