What are the forms in which the avant-garde returns after the
Second World War? How does the literary avant-garde re-invent
itself without losing its affinity with historical avant-garde
currents such as surrealism and futurism? This book explores the
international relevance of the concept of neo-avant-garde for the
study of post-war literary innovations covering North American,
Latin American, Caribbean, Austrian, French, British, Belgian,
Dutch and German cases. Each of the twenty-one newly commissioned
chapters combines theoretical reflection with practical analysis.
Together, they provide a multi-faceted account of diverse group and
trends, such as the New Realists, Black Arts Movement, Labris and
the Vienna Group. They also focus on a wide range of authors, like
Pierre Alferi, Amiri Baraka, Konrad Bayer, Mario Bellatin, Kamau
Brathwaite, and Anna Kavan. In addition, they pay attention to
specific techniques, including erasure, lyricisation, and montage,
and to specific genres such as comic books, experimental fiction,
and visual poetry.
