Together, these essays highlight the interdisciplinary scope of the historic avant-garde and the interconnected of its artists. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors analyze topics such as abstraction and estrangement across the arts, the imaginary dialogue between Lev Yakubinsky and Mikhail Bakhtin, the problem of the “masculine ethos” in the Russian avant-garde, the transformation of barefoot dancing, Kazimir Malevich’s avant-garde poetic experimentations, the ecological imagination of the Polish avant-garde, science-fiction in the Russian avant-garde cinema, and the almost forgotten history of the avant-garde children’s literature in Germany. The chapters in this collection open a new critical discourse about the avant-garde movement in Europe and reshape contemporary understandings of it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Abstraction and Estrangement across the Arts in the Russian Avant-garde\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNorbert Francis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: L.
