The centerpiece is his memoir of Dada, Zurich, and the beginnings of the Cabaret Voltaire. But much like writing about punk circa , Huelsenbeck writes more about what came before and after, and very little of what happened on stage at CV. I have a feeling this would be true for the others involved.

There's a lot of space taken up Contains one very dry introduction by Hans J. There's a lot of space taken up with decrying Tristan Tzara for claiming he came up with the word Dada he didn't?

I'm still confused. Interesting take on America post-war and how their idealism could never support Dada, which in turn makes Dada sound like it is purely there to fight Old Europe. Huelsenbeck's art essays are very dry and stodgy.

However, his story of one bourgeois girlfriend and his attempts to sleep with her provide some amusement, along with her eventual fate she disappears during a stampede in the middle of a movie show and is never seen again, which sounds like a Louis CK skit. Docked a point for old time racism, comparing Harlem to the Congo. For shame. May 03, Joe Simon rated it did not like it. Racist, sexist, homophobic. Barely informative.

Shelves: anti-art , dada. The slightly sinister Franz Jung, who like Max Herrmann-Neisse came from Silesia, would occasionally invite us to wild drinking bouts. I recall one night that we spent in a bar near the zoo in downtown Berlin.

Jung, I, and the two Herzfeldes were there. We were drinking, and one of us had cocaine. We all tried some and became noisy and aggressive. When the cleaning woman came in the morning, we were all sitting or lying at the table, drinking, and swallowing cocaine. Jonh Heartfield, our "Monteur dada," as we called him, became so unruly that we had to hold him back forcibly. It was located high up on the top floor, right under the sky, and only a few feeble iron bannisters stood between it and a profound void.

Here, among publishers' crates, rolls of paper, books, manuscripts piled up around the walls like bottles of wine, we continued our revels. John Heartfield was tied to a chair, and we teased him with words and poked him the way people bother an animal in the zoo. I ignited a small torch and headed for the manuscripts.

My friends leaped upon me and grabbed my firebrand. Reading the above description is akin to reading about a punk party. Dec 22, Chris rated it it was amazing Shelves: i-own. I especially liked hearing about the music and theatre aspects of early Zurich, and Hulsenbeck's interest in the newly discovered by Europeans African cultures - his attempts at performing "African"-styled dancing and singing sounds VERY subjective history of Zurich and Berlin Dada by one of the more outspoken originals.

I especially liked hearing about the music and theatre aspects of early Zurich, and Hulsenbeck's interest in the newly discovered by Europeans African cultures - his attempts at performing "African"-styled dancing and singing sounds laughably cringe-worthy. Not the place to start if looking for a critical intro to Dada, as the subjectivity toward some of the major players might sour you toward some very important and interesting artists. However, once you have the major "framework" in place, this fills in a lot of interesting gaps.

May 18, Charlsa rated it it was ok. Couldn't tell which of his friends he actually respected by the end of the book. I got the impression that he believed only HE knew what dada was-- the rest of the dada artists and his friends be damned.

Remember the confusion when you were first starting One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, right before you worked out that the narrator was having hallucinations?

That's how I felt through this entire book the accepted danger of any firsthand account, unless the narrator is a robot. Who did Huels Couldn't tell which of his friends he actually respected by the end of the book. Who did Huelsenbeck like?

Who did he respect? And what the hell is dada? The middle portion connects Nietzsche's thought to the various strands of modernism in which it reveals itself. The final section is a glossary of key terms that Nietzsche uses throughout his works.

An excellent resource for any scholar attempting to conceptualize the foundations of modernism or the historical importance of Nietzsche, this volume seeks to outline the philosopher's works and their reception amongst the generations that immediately followed his passing. Jeder Band ist peer-reviewed. Dada is generally thought of as noisy and unmusical, but The Music of Dada shows that music was at the core of Dada theory and practice.

The answer to that question turns out to explain how music has related to the other arts ever since the days of Dada. The music of Dada is the key to understanding intermediality in our time. By the end of the Arab-Israeli War, all the inhabitants of Ein Houd had been dispersed or exiled or had gone into hiding, although their old stone homes were not destroyed. In the Israeli government established an artists' cooperative community in the houses of the village, now renamed Ein Hod.

In the meantime, the Arab inhabitants of Ein Houd moved two kilometers up a neighboring mountain and illegally built a new village. They could not afford to build in stone, and the mountainous terrain prevented them from using the layout of traditional Palestinian villages. That seemed unimportant at the time, because the Palestinians considered it to be only temporary, a place to live until they could go home.

The Palestinians have not gone home. The Object of Memory explores the ways in which the people of Ein Houd and Ein Hod remember and reconstruct their past in light of their present—and their present in light of their past.

This book sets out new coordinates in revision of a formation that Western art history routinely exhausts through its characterisation as a 'revolutionary movement' of anarchic cultural dissent, and does so in order to contest the perpetuated assumptions about Dada that underlie the popular myth.

Dada is difficult and the response to it is not easy, and what emerge from the theoretical readings developed here are profoundly rational bases to the Dada non-sense that pitted itself against its civilised age, critically and implicitly to propose that Dada courses as vitally today as it did in The Zurich Dada formation initiated deliberate and strategic cultural engagements that struggled then, as they do now, to cohere in any sense as a 'movement', extreme in their ranges as diametrically hostile oppositionalities.

Dada may be given art historically as identifiable along a trajectory of sustained ruptures and seizures, but it confounds all attempts at defined or definitive readings. This book duly offers not a history of Dada in Zurich but theoretical engagements of the emergencies and now the residue of the years - from 'lautgedichte' to laughter, masks to manifestos, chance to chiasmata - rounding to the 'permanent' Dada by which the formation ultimately breaks the containment and deep peace of art historical chronology.

Author : M. Rather than reading modernism as a complete rejection of social morality, this study shows how early twentieth-century writers like Conrad, Faulkner, Gide, Kafka, Mann and Stein actually devised new aesthetic techniques to address ethical problems. By focusing on a range of decadent, naturalist, avant-garde and expatriate writers between and the late s this book reassesses the moral trajectory of transatlantic fiction. An acknowledged expert on Dada and Surrealism, he has published widely on these movements, and on artists such as Marcel Duchamp and Max Ernst.

Author : R. Press ISBN: Category : Performing Arts Languages : en Pages : Get Book Book Description This book deals with the early intellectual reception of the cinema and the manner in which art theorists, philosophers, cultural theorists, and especially artists of the first decades of the twentieth century responded to its advent. This view of the cinema was especially common among those whose commitments were to advanced artistic practices.
