Zusatztext The international dissemination of its creative energy, its anarchic humor and its response to the contradictions of modernity made Dada possibly the most vital of the early twentieth-century avant-gardes. Emily Hage’s lively, meticulously researched volume tackles the issue of Dada’s geographical expansion head-on, offering the most complete study of Dada magazines, in all their inventiveness and diversity, currently available to scholars. Informationen zum Autor Emily Hage is Associate Professor of Art History! Saint Joseph's University! USA. Dada Magazines is the first volume entirely devoted to Dada magazines dating from 1916 to 1926 produced not only New York, Paris, Zurich, Berlin, Hanover, and Cologne, but also lesser known centres like Zagreb, Bucharest, Leiden, and Mantua. Zusammenfassung Dada magazines made Dada what it was: diverse, non-hierarchical, transnational, and defiant of the most fundamental artistic conventions. This book, the first of its kind to critically examine the place of Dada periodicals within the art movement, redefines the story of Dada by demonstrating the centrality of these graphically inventive, provocative periodicals: Dada, New York Dada, Dada Jok, and dozens more that began crossing enemy lines during World War I.Including magazines from the well-known Dada cities of New York and Paris, as well as the lesser-known cities of Zagreb and Bucharest, the book reveals that Dada continued to inspire art journals well into the 1920s. Anchored in close material analysis within a historical and theoretical framework, Dada Magazines models a novel, multifaceted methodology for assessing many kinds of periodicals. The book traces how the Dadaists—Marcel Duchamp, Tristan Tzara, Dragan Aleksic, Hannah Höch, and many others—compiled, printed, distributed, and exchanged these publications. At the same time, it recognizes the journals as active agents that engendered the Dada network, and its thematic, chronological structure captures the constant exchanges that took place in this network. With in-depth scrutiny of these magazines—and 1970s “Dadazines” inspired by them— Dada Magazines is a vital source in the histories of art and design, periodical studies, and modernist studies.
