Interrelated chapters examine the work of Franz Kafka, Jean\/Hans Arp, Walter Benjamin, and Carl Einstein, and of artists such as Oskar Kokoschka or Kurt Schwitters, in the light of the surge of an autoformation (\u003cem\u003eBildung\u003c\/em\u003e) of verbal and visual images at the core of expressionist and surrealist aesthetics and the art that followed. In this first scholarly focus on modernist avant-garde Bildung in its entwinement of conceptual modernity with forms of the archaic, Rumold resituates the significance of the poet and art theorist Einstein and his work on the language of primitivism and the visual imagination. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eArchaeologies of Modernity\u003c\/em\u003e is a major reconsideration of the conception of the modernist project and will be of interest to scholars across the disciplines.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Northwestern University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52555666227480,"sku":"9780810131125","price":26.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-archaeologies-of-modernity-the-avant-garde-bildung-paperback-softback-9780810131125","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
