The first volume of the new series “European Avant-Garde and
Modernism Studies” focuses on the relation between the avant-garde,
modernism and Europe. It combines interdisciplinary and intermedial
research on experimental aesthetics and poetics. The essays, written
by experts from more than fifteen countries, seek to bring out the
complexity of the European avant-garde and modernism by relating it to
Europe’s intricate history, multiculturalism and multilingualism.
They aim to inquire into the divergent cultural views on Europe taking
shape in avant-garde and modernist practices and to chart a composite
image of the “other Europe(s)” that have emerged from the
(contemporary) avant-garde and experimental modernism. How did the
avant-garde and modernism in (and outside) Europe give shape to local,
national and pan-European forms of identity and community? To what
extent does the transnational exchange and cross-fertilisation of
aesthetic tendencies illustrate the well-rehearsed claim that the
avant-gardes form a typically European phenomenon? Dealing with
canonised as well as lesser known exponents of modernism and the
avant-garde throughout Europe, this book will appeal to all those
interested in European cultural, literary and art history.
