The essays cover a wide range of avant-garde manifestations in arts and culture: literature, the visual arts, painting as well as photography, architecture and design, film, radio, and performing arts like music, theatre and dance.\u003cbr\u003eIt is the first major historical work to consider the Nordic avant-garde in a transnational perspective which includes all the arts and to discuss the role of the avant-garde not only within the aesthetic field, but in a broader cultural context. It examines the social and cultural context of the avant-garde: its media, its locations, its reception and audiences, the transmissions between Scandinavia and Europe, and its cultural consequences.\u003cbr\u003eThe essays trace the connections between the avant-garde and the cultural discourses of contemporary currents such as revolutionary socialism, radical nationalism and occultism, and discuss questions of gender, ideology and politics, geographical location and technological innovation. The cultural history thus focuses on the role of the avant-garde in shaping the ideas of cultural modernity in the Nordic countries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hubert Van Den Berg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004361731\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004361737\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/07\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 680\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 1.30d","brand":"Hubert Van Den Berg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46311098417407,"sku":"9789004361737","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d9b563b0-cbfb-4d5f-9d79-3e888d57ca2a.jpg?v=1730888110","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-cultural-history-of-the-hubert-van-den-berg-9789004361737","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
