Write a paper on From Modernity to Post-Modernity: Representations of the American Family”This paper equires the task of characterizing postmodernism as a worldview, but with a change in literary references to specifically those works that had a subject interest in the American family: As I Lay Dying(book); Raising Arizona (film); Blue Velvet(film); or The Leftovers. Obviously, this option will require a greater focus between modernism and postmodernism, but I am still looking for your ability to characterize postmodernity from the perspective of representations of the American family. To do so, you will have to reference at least Raising Arizona and will have to expand the notion of how Blue Velvet, The Secret History, or The Leftovers might be relevant to the nature of the American family in the latter part of the 20th century and the 21st century. This is the challenge inherent in Option 2. Title your paper “From Modernity to Post-Modernity: Representations of the American Family”
For either option, I will value most:
A clear understanding and articulation of the postmodern worldview
A clear demonstration of your engagement in the secondary sources on postmodernity
A significant and strong ability to make supporting analytical references to the chosen literature
For Option 2, the additional attention to how the American family is an enduring point of reference in differentiating modernism from postmodernism
A carefully thought out consideration of the significance of at least one of the last two novels, to include speculation on whether there is a way of characterizing the latter works as pointing to a change in worldview from postmodernity or any possible evolution in worldview manifested in either The Secret History or The Leftovers.
