The essays cover a wide range of avant-garde manifestations: literature, visual arts, theatre, architecture and design, film, radio, body culture and magazines. It is the first major historical work to consider the Nordic avant-garde in a transnational perspective that includes all the arts and to discuss the role of the avant-garde not only within the aesthetic field but in a broader cultural and political context: the pre-war and wartime responses to international developments, the new cultural institutions, sexual politics, the impact of refugees and the new start after the war.Avant-Garde Critical Studies36.Avant-garde (Aesthetics)ScandinaviaHistory20th centuryArts, ScandinavianHistory20th centuryPopular cultureScandinaviaHistory20th centuryAvant-garde (Aesthetics)HistoryArts, ScandinavianHistoryPopular cultureHistory700.411Hjartarson BenediktKollnitz Andrea1970-Stounbjerg Per1956-Ørum TaniaNL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910793498903321A cultural history of the avant-garde in the Nordic countries 1925-19503775603UNINA
