While the leading men earned notoriety, women played important roles in these movements, and racial minority groups in American instigated their own avant-garde practices, responding to both the formal innovations and social exclusions of the historical avant-garde. Studying the avant-garde sharpens close reading skills, offers insight into the social and political dimensions of artistic formations, and challenges us to revolutionize our own creative and critical practices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About the Course ENG 394: The Avant-Garde Fall 2017 T\/Th 3:05-4:20 pm, Wall 320 Professor Suzanne Churchill CATALOG DESCRIPTION A course concerned with avant-garde schools, movements, and strategies, \u201cThe Avant-Garde\u201d will include exploration of different genres, media, and&#8230; <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/courses.suzannechurchill.com\/eng394-f17\/about-the-course\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-171","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.suzannechurchill.com\/eng394-f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.suzannechurchill.com\/eng394-f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.suzannechurchill.com\/eng394-f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.suzannechurchill.com\/eng394-f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.suzannechurchill.com\/eng394-f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=171"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/courses.suzannechurchill.com\/eng394-f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/171\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2715,"href":"https:\/\/courses.suzannechurchill.com\/eng394-f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/171\/revisions\/2715"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.suzannechurchill.com\/eng394-f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
