A Glossary of the Czech Avant-Garde: Aesthetic Concepts and Metamorphoses of Art, 1908-1958

Publication at Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

The book offers a complex of lenghty encyclopaedic entries that focus on productive abstract entities, which can be approached as characteristic of the Czech avant-garde movements in literature and arts via its relationship towards the international context. The entries offer an embedded network as well as reference to other relevant sources and literature.

The collective monograph aims at a complex outline that would be capable to cover all important issues of the avant-garde thought and creative efforts. The analysis aims at theoretical, interdisciplinary and media based frames of interpretation.
