Offering new critical approaches to Dada as quintessential part of
the Avant-Garde, Dada and Existentialism: the Authenticity of
Ambiguity reassesses the movement as a form of (proto-)
Existentialist philosophy. Dada is often dismissed as an anti-art
movement with a merely destructive theoretical impetus. French
Existentialism is often condemned for its perceived quietist
implications. However, closer analysis reveals a preoccupation with
philosophy in the former and with art in the latter. Moreover,
neither was nonsensical or meaningless; both reveal a rich
individualist ethics aimed at the amelioration of the individual
and society. The first major comparative study of Dada and
Existentialism, this text contributes new perspectives on Dada as
movement, historical legacy, and field of study. Analysing Dada
works through Existentialist literature across the themes of
choice, alienation, responsibility, freedom and truth, the text
posits that Dada and Existentialism both advocate the creation of a
self that aims for authenticity through ambiguity.
