Abstract

La perception locale des différentes formes d'un provincialisme méprisable, le refus d'être à l'écart d'une activité perçue plus vivante ailleurs, la disqualification par la modernité des limites héritées des États-nations, la conscience d'un territoire culturel plus vaste, très tôt identifié à l'Europe : dès le début du siècle, une partie importante de l'activité artistique manifeste une intense revendication de liberté et de mobilité. Développés à l'écart des institutions académiques, les humanismes nouveaux, ceux de la rupture, le dadaïsme, le surréalisme, ont vocation à la circulation, à la diffusion, à l'expansion au-delà des limites des territoires de la société politique. La constitution de groupes d'artistes, formés sur des bases à la fois territoriales et culturelles, relayés ailleurs par des appuis locaux, exprime l'étonnante disponibilité d'une génération à chercher sa voie en dehors d'un cadre local, régional, national. La relation est évidente avec la dimension internationale de la pensée politique du mouvement ouvrier, avec l'idéologie sans frontières du marxisme et du socialisme : pour les artistes aussi, la croyance dans le nouveau passe par le rejet des limites anciennes.

Abstract

Sound is born and dies with action. In this surprising, resourceful study, Mladen Ovadija makes a case for the centrality of sound as an integral element of contemporary theatre. He argues that sound in theatre inevitably "betrays" the dramatic text, and that sound is performance. Until recently, theatrical sound has largely been regarded as supplemental to the dramatic plot. Now, however, sound is the subject of renewed interest in theatrical discourse. Dramaturgy of sound, Ovadija argues, reads and writes a theatrical idiom based on two inseparable, intertwined strands - the gestural, corporeal power of the performer’s voice and the structural value of stage sound. His extensive research in experimental performance and his examination of the pioneering work by Futurists, Dadaists, and Expressionists enable Ovadija to create a powerful study of autonomous sound as an essential element in the creation of synesthetic theatre. Dramaturgy of Sound in the Avant-garde and Postdramatic Theatre presents a cogent argument about a continuous tradition in experimental theatre running from early modernist to contemporary works.

Abstract

This collection of critical essays explores new approaches to the study of avant-garde literature and art, film and architecture. It offers a theoretical framework that avoids narrowly defined notions of the avant-garde. It takes into account the diversity of artistic aims and directions of the various avant-garde movements and encourages a wide and open exploration of the multifaceted and often contradictory nature of the great variety of avant-gardist innovations. Individual essays concentrate on cubist collage and dadaist photomontage, on abstract painting by members of the Dutch group De Stijl , on verbal chemistry and dadaist poetry and on body art from futurism to surrealism. In addition, the collection wishes to open up the discussion of the avant-garde to a thorough investigation of neo-avant-garde activities in the 1950's and 1960's. For decades the appreciation of neo-avant-garde art and literature, film and architecture suffered from a general and all-inclusive rebuke. This volume is designed to contribute to a breakthrough towards a more competent and more precise investigation of this research field. Contributions include a discussion of Warhol’s multiples as well as Duchamp’s editioned ready-mades, forms of concrete and digital poetry as well as the architectural “Non-Plan”. The main body of the volume is based on presentations and discussions of a three-day research seminar held at the University of Edinburgh in September 2002. The research group formed around the Avant-Garde Project at Edinburgh will continue with its efforts to elaborate a new theory of the avant-garde in the coming years.

Abstract

L’irruption du postmodernisme a favorisé la critique des avant-gardes artistiques du XXe siècle, des idéologies qui les avaient portées et même des œuvres qu’elles avaient produites. Ces mises en cause ont occulté autant que révélé un ensemble de questions théoriques et historiographiques. Que signifie la fin des avant-gardes ? De quelle histoire celles-ci relèvent-elles ? Comment évaluer la force durable des œuvres, indépendamment des discours qui ont accompagné leur création ? Que nous disent-elles de notre modernité ? Ce livre prolonge l’ultime préoccupation du philosophe Rainer Rochlitz (1946-2002) dans le domaine de l’esthétique : repenser les relations entre l’art, la société et le politique. Réunis initialement au sein d’un séminaire à l’EHESS, les auteurs de ce volume, spécialistes des arts plastiques, de la photographie, de la musique, de la littérature ou de l’esthétique, proposent une réflexion sur les modes d’attribution de sens et de valeur à l’art moderne et aux avant-gardes historiques.

Abstract

The neo-avant-garde of the 1950's, 60's and 70's, is due for a thoroughgoing reassessment. This collection of essays represents the first full-scale attempt to deal with the concept from an interdisciplinary standpoint. A number of essays in this book concentrate on fine art, particularly painting and sculpture, thereby adding significantly to the growing art historical literature in the field, but a number of the contributions also focus on poetry, performance, theatre, film, architecture and music. Given that there are also major essays here dealing with geographical blind spots in current neo-avant-garde studies, with thematic issues such as art’s entanglement with gender, mass culture and politics, with key neo-avant-garde publications, and with the purely theoretical problems attaching to the theorisation of the topic, this collection offers a multi-dimensional approach to the subject which is noticeably lacking elsewhere. Taken together these essays represent a consolidated attempt at re-thinking the ‘cultural logic’ of the immediate post-World War II period.

Abstract

L’année 1914 marque la rencontre entre l’avant-garde artistique et l’avant-garde militaire, deux champs qui n’ont cessé d’entrer en friction depuis le XIXe siècle, sans jamais s’identifier l’un à l’autre pour autant. En 1914, ces frottements sont tout particulièrement sensibles dans les relations entre les arts visuels et l’histoire, dans un moment où la crise de la conscience européenne se cristallise en catastrophe radicale. L’analyse des relations entre l’avant-garde artistique et la guerre, dans les limites de l’année 1914, permet de penser la situation intellectuelle et pratique de la création visuelle pendant les six premiers mois « ordinaires » de l’année, et de comprendre la nature des prises de conscience provoquées par la déclaration de guerre ainsi que par les premiers combats. Ce livre explore les strates de sens inscrites dans les œuvres et les objets, les orientations du goût et du marché, les pensées et les discours critiques et théoriques, afin de faire l’anatomie de ce qui s’est brisé dans les représentations occidentales dans ce temps court – mais essentiel – de l’histoire et de l’art du XXe siècle.

Abstract

A Cultural History of the Avant-Garde in the Nordic Countries 1900-1925 is the first publication to deal with the avant-garde in the Nordic countries at the start of the twentieth century. The essays cover a wide range of avant-garde manifestations in arts and culture: literature, the visual arts, painting as well as photography, architecture and design, film, radio, and performing arts like music, theatre and dance.It is the first major historical work to consider the Nordic avant-garde in a transnational perspective which includes all the arts and to discuss the role of the avant-garde not only within the aesthetic field, but in a broader cultural context. It examines the social and cultural context of the avant-garde: its media, its locations, its reception and audiences, the transmissions between Scandinavia and Europe, and its cultural consequences.The essays trace the connections between the avant-garde and the cultural discourses of contemporary currents such as revolutionary socialism, radical nationalism and occultism, and discuss questions of gender, ideology and politics, geographical location and technological innovation. The cultural history thus focuses on the role of the avant-garde in shaping the ideas of cultural modernity in the Nordic countries.

Abstract

This compact, indispensable overview answers a vexed question: Why do so many works of modern and postmodern literature and art seem designed to appear ‘strange’, and how can they still cause pleasure in the beholder? To help overcome the initial barrier caused by this ‘strangeness’, the general reader is given an initial, non-technical description of the ‘aesthetic of the strange’ as it is experienced in the reading or viewing process. There follows a broad survey of modern and postmodern trends, illustrating their staggering variety and making plain the manifold methods and strategies adopted by writers and artists to ‘make it strange’. The book closes with a systematic summary of the theoretical underpinnings of the ‘aesthetic of the strange’, focussing on the ways in which it differs from both the earlier ‘aesthetic of the beautiful’ and the ‘aesthetic of the sublime’. It is made amply clear that the strangeness characteristic of modern and postmodern art has ushered in an entirely new, ‘third’ kind of aesthetic – one that has undergone further transformation over the past two decades. Beyond its usefulness as a practical introduction to the ‘aesthetic of the strange’, the present study also takes up the most recent, cutting-edge aspects of scholarly debate, while initiates are offered an original approach to the theoretical implications of this seminal phenomenon.

Abstract

R. Bruce Elder argues that the authors of many of the manifestoes that announced in such lively ways the appearance of yet another artistic movement shared a common aspiration: they proposed to reformulate the visual, literary, and performing arts so that they might take on attributes of the cinema. The cinema, Elder argues, became, in the early decades of the twentieth century, a pivotal artistic force around which a remarkable variety and number of aesthetic forms took shape. To demonstrate this, Elder begins with a wide-ranging discussion that opens up some broad topics concern
