About the Book

Anarchism and the Avant-Garde: Radical Arts and Politics in Perspective contributes to the continuing debate on the encounter of the classical anarchisms (1860s−1940s) and the artistic and literary avant-gardes of the same period, probing its dimensions and limits. Case studies on Dadaism, decadence, fauvism, neo-impressionism, symbolism, and various anarchisms explore the influence anarchism had on the avant-gardes and reflect on avant-garde tendencies within anarchism. This volume also explores the divergence of anarchism and the avant-gardes. It offers a rich examination of politics and arts, and it complements an ongoing discourse with theoretical tools to better assess the aesthetic, social, and political cross-pollination that took place between the avant-gardes and the anarchists in Europe.

About the Author :
Carolin Kosuch, Dr. phil. (2014) University of Leipzig, is Research Associate at the University of Göttingen. She has published extensively on nineteenth-century European history, including Missratene Söhne. Anarchismus und Sprachkritik im Fin de Siècle (Göttingen, 2015).

Review :
“The volume’s interdisciplinary approach, grounded in a historical perspective, also proves to be very effective, with a range of topics such as politics, aesthetics, art, education, gender/sexuality being touched upon. In addition to exploring such a variety of topics, a further layer of information is provided in that authors explore not only anarchism but also the different avant-garde communities and groups in existence at the same time. This juxtaposition of groups contributes to the general richness of the volume, as the particularities of certain groups as well as their similarities are revealed.” - Ana Maria Spariosu, European University Institute, Italy in H-Soz-Kult, 14-09-2020 “Statt die Dominanz eines Aspektes über den anderen anzunehmen, wirft die in diesem Bd. eingenommene relationale Perspektive neues Licht auf alte Fragen: in welchem Verhältnis steht eine Bewegung, welche die Autonomie des (entfremdeten) Individuums zum Ausgangspunkt nimmt, zu ihrem parallelen Anspruch, einen gesellschaftlichen Umbruch zu bewirken, mitunter durch die Mobilisierung der Massen? Welche Temporalitäten liegen dem zugrunde, und wie wird mit dem Widerspruch zwischen nostalgisch-primitivistischem Verweis auf die Vergangenheit und einer Zukunftsausrichtung (entweder als Niedergang, Neuaufbruch oder beides) umgegangen? Wie schlägt sich das auf ästhetischer Ebene nieder, und wie können naturalistischer Realismus und neue Formen der Abstraktion innerhalb einer gleichen Bewegung koexistieren? Sind der schöpferische und der destruktive Impetus, die Suche nach Harmonien und die antagonistische Positionierung der Revolutionärin letztlich vereinbar? Von solchen Fragen ausgehend wirbelt der Bd. gängige Vorstellungen zu Anarchismus und Avantgarde durcheinander und liefert anregende Denkanstöße, die nicht zuletzt durch eine sorgfältige Bildauswahl unterstützt werden.” - Pascale Siegrist, German Historical Institute London, UK in Quellen und Forschungen aus italienischen Archiven und Bibliotheken, Vol. 101 2021 pp. 825-827
