The Culture of the Interwar Period

Developments reflect two trends: The disillusioning effects of World War I in high culture The further development of a truly mass culture based on new communications technologies

Experimentation and Alienation in High Culture Writers, artists and intellectuals who came of age during WWI became known as the Lost Generation Prewar trends of irrationality, subjectivity and alienation were confirmed by the experience of war Spengler, Kafka, Remarque, Eliot

Many writers experimented with stream-of-consciousness styles and unstructured works to convey the subjective nature of experience Proust James Joyce Dedalus Virginia Woolf

Modern art became incredibly diverse in the 20th century Weimar Germany became a center for experimentation in arts Grosz and Hoch Dadism represented an anti-art movement, using artistic media to show the absurdity of life

Abstraction reduced reality down to its essentials Picasso Freud’s ideas regarding the unconscious began to influence painting with the artistic movement of surrealism Salvador Dali In architecture, modernists worked with concrete, steel and glass

The sciences and the social sciences confirmed prewar trends toward the irrational and uncertain Sigmund Freud Carl Jung – collective unconscious Werner Heisenberg – uncertainty principle

Mass Culture and Leisure WWI provoked a shift in public morals Sexuality grew more open, women smoked in public, and dance halls gained popularity Laws against the distribution of birth control were abandoned

During the prosperous 1920s, many businesses developed installment plans and allowed buying on credit Advertising fed a new consumerism in household appliances, beauty aids, and automobiles

Governments openly encouraged the purchase of radios and attendance at motion pictures Communication technologies offered opportunities to shape public opinion and promote propaganda

With increased leisure time, Europeans engages in more air travel and tourism Totalitarian states encouraged such activities around state-run agencies Governments promoted a “cult of the body” through organized sports
