Dada magazines made Dada what it was: diverse, non-hierarchical,
transnational, and defiant of the most fundamental artistic
conventions. This first volume entirely devoted to Dada periodicals
retells the story of Dada by demonstrating the centrality of these
graphically inventive, provocative periodicals: _Dada, New York Dada,
Dada Jok,_ and dozens more that began crossing enemy lines during
World War I. The book includes magazines from well-known Dada cities
like New York and Paris as well as Zagreb and Bucharest, and reveals
that Dada continued to inspire art journals into the 1920s. Anchored
in close material analysis within a historical and theoretical
framework, _Dada Magazines_ models a novel, multifaceted methodology
for assessing many kinds of periodicals. The book traces how the
Dadaists-Marcel Duchamp, Tristan Tzara, Dragan Aleksic, Hannah Höch,
and many others-compiled, printed, distributed, and exchanged these
publications. At the same time, it recognizes the journals as active
agents that engendered the Dada network, and its thematic,
chronological structure captures the constant exchanges that took
place in this network. With in-depth scrutiny of these magazines-and
1970s “Dadazines” inspired by them-_Dada Magazines_ is a vital
source in the histories of art and design, periodical studies, and
modernist studies.
