LEiden & Boston, Brill, [2024]. XXIX,633 pp. Col. & b./w. figs. Orig. hardcover (boards). 8vo. (Avant-Garde Critical Studies, Vol. 42). [ISBN: 978-90-04-52673-0]. - New copy !This rich, in-depth exploration of Dada's roots in East-Central Europe is a vital addition to existing research on Dada and the avant-garde. Through deeply researched case studies and employing novel theoretical approaches, the volume rewrites the history of Dada as a story of cultural and political hybridity, border-crossings, transitions, and transgressions, across political, class and gender lines. Dismantling prevailing notions of Dada as a "Western" movement, the contributors to this volume present East-Central Europe as the locus of Dada activity and techniques. The articles explore how artists from the region pre-figured Dada as well as actively "cannibalized", that is, reabsorbed and further hybridized, a range of avant-garde techniques, thus challenging "Western" cultural hegemony. - Text in English. - Publisher's retail price: 173,31.
