Kupujte,modernistički salonski ljevičari!

Daklem, kao što znate moja velika sestra Sanja piše knjige o avangardi, modernizmu, psihoanalizi, sinesteziji i tako, generalno krasnim kompliciranim stvarima. Prije par mjeseci izašla je njena knjiga ( zasad samo na engleskom ) koja proučava avangardu tamo gdje je dosad sigurno niste tražili- doslovce od Rumunjske do Japana. Kakav je modernizam u tim dosad prilično netaknutim sferama, možete pročitati ako naručite njenu knjigu.

"The collection of essays The Avant-garde and the Margin: New Territories of Modernism offers an insightful discussion of the dialogue, in modernism, between the so-called 'centers'' of aesthetic production and their counterparts in the cultural 'periphery,' questioning the very existence of centers and margins and proposing a theory that argues for fruitful bi-directional (rather than only uni-directional) intercultural encounters in specific historical contexts. While much has been written on modernism in Western Europe and England, this volume breaks new ground in its concentration on modernism practiced in locations ranging from Romania, Poland, and the former Yugoslavia to Greece, French Canada, Japan, and India. Shedding light on the genres of poetry and drama; movements such as Surrealism, DADA, and other avant-gardes; and issues such as gender, modernity, and nationalism, it demonstrates that the concepts of center and margin are useful in the study of intercultural interactions and that the study of modernism practiced from the periphery reveals important truths about the routes of cultural transfer. The volume contributes to the ongoing discussion of cultural trafficking across boundaries and borders in the twentieth century."
Janet A. Walker, Professor of Comparative Literature, Rutgers University
