Free Download What the Fuck: The Avant-Porn Anthology By Michael Hemmingson, William T. Vollmann
2000 | 127 Pages | ISBN: 1887128611 | PDF | 9 MB
Experimental Erotica From Some Of The Best-Known Names In Modern Literature; Shunning the notion that erotic literature is hastily created thrown-away words and sentences, a new literary, experimental aesthetic pervades this anthology. The writers here show that human sexuality is broad, and the range of desire is exciting and vast. Sex is as vital as food, politics, and conflict. The Avant Pornographers are not afraid to explore and exploit the nature of postmodern human sexuality in the 21st Century, with their own brand of twists and curves. Like Mirrorshades was to cyberpunk and Avant Pop was to avant pop, What The Fuck will be a new brand of post-pomo sexualised fiction. Contributors include William T Vollmann, one of the most important writers of the 1990s; leading sci-fi writer Don Webb, pomo novelist Robert Coover, anthologist Larry McCaffrey of the Avant Pop anthology from Viking Penguin, underground sensation Thom Metzger as well as L A Ruocco, author of the challenging and labyrinthian Document Zippo.

The Ghosts of the Avant-Garde(s) offers a strikingly new perspective on key controversies and debates within avant-garde studies, arguing for the importance of reopening pivotal controversies and debates in avant-garde studies and challenging pronouncements of the "death of the avant-garde" that tend to obscure the diversity and plurality of avant-garde gesture and expression.

Free Download Laura Chiesa, "Resonances Against Fascism: Modernist and Avant-Garde Sounds from Kurt Weill to Black Lives Matter "
English | ISBN: 143849629X | 2024 | 191 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Resonances against Fascism explores some of the myriad ways music and, more broadly, sound have emerged from, and been mobilized to address, the urgencies of the present, from modernism to today. Taking the works and life of the German-born composer Kurt Weill as a pivotal point of departure, the collection brings together a range of critical voices, each with a singular tone, to demonstrate the pervasive force of sound in the face of fascism. Across eight essays, contributors sound out the anti-authoritarian resonances of modernist and avant-garde aesthetics from Weill to Nina Simone and Chico Buarque, to Marguerite Duras and Jean-Luc Godard, to Lou Reed and Patti Smith, and to the choral chants of the Black Lives Matter Movement. The second volume in the Humanities to the Rescue book series, a public humanities project dedicated to discussing the role of the arts and humanities today,

Free Download James M. Harding, John Rouse, "Not the Other Avant-Garde: The Transnational Foundations of Avant-Garde Performance"
English | 2006 | pages: 312 | ISBN: 0472069314, 0472099310 | EPUB | 1,2 mb
Almost without exception, studies of the avant-garde take for granted the premise that the influential experimental practices associated with the avant-garde began primarily as a European phenomenon that in turn spread around the world. These ten original essays, especially commissioned for Not the Other Avant-Garde, forge a radically new conception of the avant-garde by demonstrating the many ways in which the first- and second-wave avant-gardes were always already a transnational phenomenon, an amalgam of often contradictory performance traditions and practices developed in various cultural locations around the world, including Africa, the Middle East, Mexico, Argentina, India, and Japan. Essays from leading scholars and critics-including Marvin Carlson, Sudipto Chatterjee, John Conteh-Morgan, Peter Eckersall, Harry J. Elam Jr., Joachim Fiebach, David G. Goodman, Jean Graham-Jones, Hannah Higgins, and Adam Versényi-suggest collectively that the very concept of the avant-garde is possible only if conceptualized beyond the limitations of Eurocentric paradigms.

English | ISBN: 1399526820 | 2024 | 368 pages | PDF | 28 MB
Avant-garde poetry in the Antipodes causes all sorts of trouble for literary history. It is an avant-garde that seems to arrive too late and yet right on time. In 1897, Christopher Brennan made his own version of Un Coup de Dés, the same year Mallarmé published it in Cosmopolis. In the 1940s, the same period avant-gardism was declared dead or fatally injured due to the Ern Malley affair, Harry Hooton began writing a significant body of experimental poetry. From the 1950s to the 1970s, Australian Dada emerged 'belatedly' through figures like Jas H. Duke (Tristan Tzara had previously sung Aboriginal songs at the Cabaret Voltaire in 1916). First Nations and Migrant poets then began reinventing avant-garde poetry in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. This book maintains that such a confounding literary history poses a distinct challenge to the theories of the avant-gardes we have become accustomed to and changes our perspective of avant-garde time.

English | ISBN: 147448896X | 2024 | 248 pages | PDF | 6 MB
Konrad Wojnowski argues that the probabilistic revolution, while recognized and investigated by historians of science, has been largely overlooked in the field of art. He shows that the idea that one can perceive and comprehend reality in terms of shifting probabilities was clearly present in the work of many avant-garde artists working in Europe and North America.
