The Community in Avant-Garde Literature and Politics

By Zrinka Božić

Book Overview

This book rethinks the concept of community taking Jean-Luc Nancy's influential essay "La communaut d soeuvr e" as its starting point, tracing subsequent scholarship on community and adding new insights on avant-garde aesthetics and politics. Extensively exploring the communitarian dimension of avant-garde aesthetics and politics (focusing on artistic groups, intellectual circles and theoretical collectives), the author aims to bring literature and art into a philosophical examination of the paradoxical and complex idea of community.
