Examining the artistic oeuvres of some of the canonical names of modern art - including Edgar Degas, Edvard Munch, Pablo Picasso, George Orwell, Marcel Duchamp, Antonin Artaud - this book investigates instances where the heightened political, social, and cultural currencies embedded within such hygienic issues have been mobilised, and subversively exploited, to fuel the critical strategy at play. This edited volume promotes an interdisciplinary and socio-historically contextualised understanding of the criticality of the avant-garde gesture and cultivates scholarship that moves beyond the limits of traditional academic subjects to produce innovative and thought-provoking connections and interrelations across various fields. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, literature, theatre, cultural studies, modern history, medical humanities, and visual culture"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 2 $a Degas and the matter of contagion: dirt, skin, touch and the cosmetic arts / Anthea Callen -- Avant-Garde Hygiene and Contagion: Artaud's Ecology in the Chemical Century / Carl Lavery. 650 0 $a Health in art. 650 0 $a Diseases in art. 650 0 $a Arts, European $y 19th century $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a Arts, European $y 20th century $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a Arts and society $z Europe $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Arts and society $z Europe $x History $y 20th century. 700 1 $a Hopkins, David, $d 1955- $e editor. 700 1 $a Persson, Disa, $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Contagion and hygiene in European avant-garde visual art, theatre, and literature $d New York, NY : Routledge, 2023 $z 9781003309000 $w (DLC) 2022061898 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240320011824.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20231004011255.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FF688E7A1BC411EE999F3EC24CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
