"Decentring the Avant-Garde" presents a collection of articles
dealing with the topography of the avant-garde. The focus is on
different responses to avant-garde aesthetics in regions
traditionally depicted as cultural, geographical and linguistic
peripheries. Avant-garde activities in the periphery have to date
mostly been described in terms of a passive reception of new
artistic trends and currents originating in cultural centres such
as Paris or Berlin. Contesting this traditional view, "Decentring
the Avant-Garde" highlights the importance of analysing the
avant-garde in the periphery in terms of an active appropriation of
avant-garde aesthetics within different cultural, ideological and
historical settings. A broad collection of case studies discusses
the activities of movements and artists in various regions in
Europe and beyond. The result is a new topographical model of the
international avant-garde and its cultural practices.
