Abstract

"Narcissus? A burglar? An illusionist? The dandy never stops changing roles, putting himself on stage in order to protect his true self and maintain his independence. But let us not forget that his first obligation is to amaze. As a master of appearances, he invents poses and derives pleasure from hiding his face behind multiple masks to confuse his audience. From Fortunio to Arsène Lupin, not forgetting the dandy woman, from Saint-Just to Romain Gary, the sixteen studies in this book present an exceptional gallery of figures that delineate the history of dandyism. We will discover the art of being a dandy and unexpected, even surprising incarnations (both literary and historical) of this mysterious character. So, masks up! Let the show begin!"-- Provided by publisher.

Abstract

The book explores the dandy as a cultural type across Europe and Russia from the eighteenth century through the present day. Olga Vainshtein offers a unique view on dandyism as a cultural tradition, based not merely on fashionable attire, but also as a particular lifestyle with specific standards of behaviour, bodily practices and conceptual approaches to dress. The dandy is described as the prototypical hero of the modern cult of celebrities. From clubbing manners, the techniques of virtual aristocratism, urban flâneurs and the correct way to examine people, Vainshtein walks us through optical duels and the techniques of visual assessment at social gatherings. Readers will learn about strategies of subversive behaviour found in practical jokes, the fine art of noble scandal, dry wit, bare-faced impudence and mocking politeness. Looking at dandyism as a nineteenth-century literary movement, Vainshtein examines representation of dandies in fiction. Finally, a large section is devoted to Russian and Soviet dandyism and the dandies of today.

Abstract

Der Dandy ist eine janusköpfige Figur: einerseits in Habitus und Mentalität dem 18. Jahrhundert verhaftet, andererseits die adligen Standesschranken durchbrechender Einzelgänger. Das Brüchigwerden der Adelswelt schnitt den Typus des Gesellschaftsdandys von seinem angestammten Terrain ab und drängte ihn noch stärker in die Vereinzelung. Auch der Zusammenbruch der ,großen Welt' vor und nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg stellte für den Dandy eine massive Existenzbedrohung dar. Die verwandte Spielart des Künstlerdandys repräsentiert eine mondäne Bohème und existiert in ihren verschiedenen Amalgamierungen bis heute. Der Band untersucht Erscheinungsformen und Transformationen sowie neue Selbstbehauptungsstrategien des Dandys im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert und stellt Biographien bekannter Dandys vor.
