| Summary: | The Poetics of the Avant-garde in Literature, Arts, and Philosophy presents a range of chapters written by a highly international group of scholars from disciplines such as literary studies, arts, theater and philosophy to analyze the ambitions of avantgarde artists. Together, these essays highlight the interdisciplinary scope of the historic avantgarde and the interconnected of its artists. Contributors analyze topics such as abstraction and estrangement across the arts, the imaginary dialogue between Lev Yakubinsky and Mikhail Bakhtin, the problem of the "masculine ethos" in the Russian avantgarde, the transformation of barefoot dancing, Kazimir Malevich's avantgarde poetic experimentations, the ecological imagination of the Polish avantgarde, science fiction in the Russian avantgarde cinema and the almost forgotten history of the avantgarde children's literature in Germany. The chapters in this collection open a new critical discourse about the avantgarde movement in Europe and reshape contemporary understandings of it. |
