Harding, have suggested a unified history or theory of the avant-garde. His book examines the diversity and plurality of avant-garde gestures and expressions to suggest "avant-garde pluralities" and how an appreciation of these pluralities enables a more dynamic and increasingly global understanding of vanguardism in the performing arts. In pursuing this goal, the book not only surveys a wide variety of canonical and noncanonical examples of avant-garde performance, but also develops a range of theoretical paradigms that defend the haunting cultural and political significance of avant-garde expressions beyond what critics have presumed to be the death of the avant-garde. The Ghosts of the Avant-Garde(s) offers a strikingly new perspective not only on key controversies and debates within avant-garde studies but also on contemporary forms of avant-garde expression within a global political economy"--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Experimental theater $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Experimental drama $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a PERFORMING ARTS $x History & Criticism. $x History & Criticism. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a ART $x Modern (late 19th Century to 1945) $x Modern (late 19th Century to 1945) $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Experimentelles Theater. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Performance. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Avantgarde. $2 gnd 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171229043921.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826095242.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=21FEC5A82FDF11E3BFAB6AC6DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
