Words in Collision: Multilingualism in English-Language Fiction
ISBN: 9780228016977 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str.

Statische Moderne
ISBN: 9783111356761 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 285 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Entgegen der üblichen Avantgardeerzählungen, die sich vornehmlich um dynamische Prozesse drehen, erkundet dieser Band die statische Seite der Moderne. Piet Mondrian, Oskar Schlemmer und Gottfried Benn werden als "ästhetische Statiker" vorgestellt, die analog zu den Ingenieuren auf der Suche nach dem Gleichgewicht sind. Ihre Werke führen paradigmatisch vor, dass sich hinter dem Begriff der Statik weit mehr verbirgt als nur mathematische Formeln und technoide Formen.
Neben diesen drei Avantgardisten kommen auch zahlreiche andere Künstler und Schriftsteller zu Wort. Auf diese Weise... Entgegen der üblichen Avantgardeerzählungen, die sich vornehmlich um dynamische Prozesse drehen, erkundet dieser Band die statische Seite der Modern...
