The book combines theoretical frameworks surrounding ideological subject formation with critical media and genre histories in order to more closely read Dadaist techniques (e.g. montage, irony, nonsense, etc.) across multiple works. These readings reveal both Dada’s preternatural focus on the discursive aspects of subject formation—linguistic sign, literary manifesto, photographic image, commodity form/aesthetics, which comprise the project’s chapters—and on Dada’s performative sabotage and subversion of them. In addition to highlighting commonalities between Dadaist works, artists, and chapters previously imagined disparate, the book shows how Dada simultaneously prefigured structuralist theories of subject formation and pre-performed post-structuralist critiques of those theories. This book will be of interest to scholars and students in literary theory, philosophy, and art history.Continental PhilosophyPhilosophy, Modern—20th centuryGermanic languagesContinental PhilosophyPhilosophy of the 20th centuryGermanic LanguagesContinental Philosophy.Philosophy, Modern—20th century.Germanic languages.Continental Philosophy.Philosophy of the 20th century.Germanic Languages.709.04062Pelcher Brandon1372528MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910734877403321Dada's Subject and Structure3403460UNINA
