The essays in this volume present a novel assessment of various manifestations of modernism in Germany and Scandinavia by posing the question of its critical and political impact beyond traditional polarities such as right vs. left, illiberalism vs. Enlightenment, apolitical vs. engaged. In drawing on a wide range of disciplinary perspectives, including literary studies, art history, film and visual studies, urban studies, musicology, political theory, and the history of science and technology, the essays in this volume reexamine modernism's bold inquiry into areas such as the relation of art to technology and mass politics, the limits of liberal democracy, the reconceptualization of urban spaces, and the realignment of traditional art forms following the rise of new media such as film. The volume's contributors share a belief in the timeliness of modernism's critical impulse for a contemporary age confronted with ethical and political dilemmas that the modernists first articulated and to which they attempted to respond.Studies in European Culture and History,2945-6282European literatureEuropeHistoryHistory, ModernLiterature, Modern20th centuryCommunicationCultureStudy and teachingEuropean LiteratureEuropean HistoryModern HistoryTwentieth-Century LiteratureMedia and CommunicationCultural StudiesEuropean literature.EuropeHistory.History, Modern.Literature, ModernCommunication.CultureStudy and teaching.European Literature.European History.Modern History.Twentieth-Century Literature.Media and Communication.Cultural Studies.700.9409034McBride Patrizia C955224McCormick Richard W.1951-1105017Zagar Monika1792501MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910965417303321Legacies of Modernism4331167UNINA
