In spite of the difficulty of most American avant-garde films, one
can read volumes and find almost no mention of how to view these
films. Dreams of Chaos, Visions of Order addresses precisely this
question: how--and to what extent--can viewers make sense of
American avant-garde films? It is a controversial book that
examines the implicit assumptions of traditional scholarship,
advocates on alternative to dominant approaches to the avant-garde
cinema, and questions some long-standing cliches about the history
of the avant-garde.
