The original (Berlin-based) Dadaists' acute historical consciousness and their modern experience of time, she contends, anticipated the formulations of major historians such as Reinhart Koselleck and, more recently, François Hartog. The book explores Dada temporalities and concepts of history in works of art, artistic discourse, and in the photographs of the Berlin Dada movement. These photographs--including the famous one of the First International Dada Fair--are presented not as simple, transparent documents, but as formal deployments conforming to a very concrete theory of history. This approach allows Stavrinaki to link Dada to more contemporary artistic movements and practices interested in history and the archive. At the same time, she investigates what seems to be a real oxymoron of the movement: its simultaneous claim to the ephemeral and its compulsive writing of its own history. In this way, \u003ci\u003eDada Presentism\u003c\/i\u003e also interrogates the limits between history and fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maria Stavrinaki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804798129\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaria Stavrinaki\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Art History and Theory at the Pantheon-Sorbonne University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40747511283827,"sku":"9.7808E+12","price":23.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_75f92a4f-a3b8-4cc5-a703-dec49a5c3c31.jpg?v=1678202328","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/dada-presentism-an-essay-on-art-history-9780804798129","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
