{"product_id":"dada-bodies-between-battlefield-and-fairground-9781526131140","title":"Dada Bodies: Between Battlefield and Fairground","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the first comprehensive study of bodily images in Dada. Travelling between the international centres of the movement, from Zurich to Berlin, Paris to New York, it examines a diverse range of media, including art, literature, performance, photography and film. Its overall approach is to confront Dada’s bodily images not as organic unities but as fictions that reflect on the disjunctive, dehumanised society of war-torn Europe. These fictions occupy an ambivalent space between the battlefield (in their satirical exposure of ideology) and the fairground (in their playful manipulation and joyful renewal of the body). The book features analyses of works by Max Ernst, Francis Picabia, Hannah Höch, Marcel Duchamp and others, and will appeal to scholars and students of European history, cultural history, art and literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e1          Introduction: spare parts             \u003cbr\u003e2          Zurich Dada: between gas mask and carnival dance         \u003cbr\u003e3          Shooting the classical body                                \u003cbr\u003e4          Hybrid bodies (I): the impossible machine            \u003cbr\u003e5          Hybrid bodies (II): the grotesque             \u003cbr\u003e6          Performance spaces: fairground, cabaret, exhibition                     \u003cbr\u003e7          Death and rebirth: corpse or chrysalis                                                      \u003cbr\u003e8          Fluid bodies, shifting identities    \u003cbr\u003e9          Dada’s Africa    \u003cbr\u003e10         Limit-bodies       \u003cbr\u003e11         Conclusion: exquisite corpses\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48885951005015,"sku":"9781526131140","price":76.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526131140.jpg?v=1722538280","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/dada-bodies-between-battlefield-and-fairground-9781526131140","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
