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 Ho?ch, Marcel Duchamp and others, and will appeal to scholars and students of European history, cultural history, art and literature. 606 $aHuman figure in art 606 $aDadaism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHuman figure in art. 615 0$aDadaism. 700 $aAdamowicz$b Elza$0681328 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480835503321 996 $aDada bodies$92245191 997 $aUNINA
