With good reason, the 20th century has been described as the century of the
avant-gardes, regarding its aesthetic and even some of its political and
scientific manifestations. While the historical avant-gardes (approx.
1910-1930) have received a good deal of theoretical attention, the post-war
neo-avant-garde is still awaiting a thorough reappraisal of all its
transdisciplinary and transnational aspects.
In the wake of the historical avant-garde, the neo-avant-garde undermined
genre distinctions (especially those between essay, prose, and poetry) and
distinctions between literature and non-literature (other media, arts,
etc.). This complex mix challenges the extant textual methods for analysis,
such as narratology and poetry analysis.
In 2016 a network of literary scholars from Belgium, France and Austria was
set up to shed light on the European neo-avant-garde (ENAG) and discuss its
transnational dynamics in biannual workshops. One central aim is to develop
a methodology and a toolbox that match the experimental strategies of the
texts under scrutiny.
The workshop will address theoretical and methodological issues: Canonical
theoretical texts on neo-avant-garde (Theodor W. Adorno, Peter Bürger, Hal
Foster) will be used to re-read canonical texts of the respective
neo-avant-gardist manifestations (Ivo Michiels, Kenneth Goldsmith, Peter
Weiss, Konrad Bayer, Andreas Okopenko, Oswald Wiener, etc.). The objective
of this endeavor is twofold: (i) to reassess the respective artworks in
relation to prevalent theories and (ii) to correct and amend the theories
where it seems appropriate.
