Performing Modernism
This volume examines the reach of modernism in design and performance in interwar Romania. It follows the transnational trajectories of several remarkable Jewish avant-garde artists, actors, and directors based in Bucharest, the country's capital, in the 1920s and 1930s. The first part of the book recovers the history of Bucharest's first modern design institution and investigates its links with German design and the Bauhaus. The second half focuses on several innovative collaborations in the realm of Yiddish theatre, including the time spent in Romania by the world-renowned Vilna Troupe. Based on extensive original research, the book shows how Bucharest was connected to Berlin, Riga, and Chicago, highlighting the contribution of Jewish cultural production to avant-garde movements in Europe and beyond.

Cannibalizing the Canon
This rich, in-depth exploration of Dada’s roots in East-Central Europe is a vital addition to existing research on Dada and the avant-garde. Through deeply researched case studies and employing novel theoretical approaches, the volume rewrites the history of Dada as a story of cultural and political hybridity, border-crossings, transitions, and transgressions, across political, class and gender lines. Dismantling prevailing notions of Dada as a “Western” movement, the contributors to this volume present East-Central Europe as the locus of Dada activity and techniques. The articles explore how artists from the region pre-figured Dada as well as actively “cannibalized”, that is, reabsorbed and further hybridized, a range of avant-garde techniques, thus challenging “Western” cultural hegemony.
Re-Configuring Romanian Culture on its Way Towards Modernity
As a direct result of an international conference organized in the year 2021, the volume tries to shed light on the way in which the translation activity contributed to the Romanian culture and language, drawing from different traditions and cultures it came in contact with (directly or indirectly), and thus mingling the own Slavonic church tradition with the new and revolutionary ideas of the Western world and using this mix to modernise the society, language and the politics in this region. Furthermore, this eclectic collection of articles highlights the fact that it was neither the exclusive merit of the Transylvanian scholars, nor of the Moldavian or Wallachian ones to have contributed d...
Historical Narratives of Global Modern Art
Diversifying the current art historical scholarship, this edited volume presents the untold story of modern art by exposing global voices and perspectives excluded from the privileged and uncontested narrative of “isms.” This volume tells a worldwide story of art with expanded historical narratives of modernism. The chapters reflect on a wide range of issues, topics, and themes that have been marginalized or outright excluded from the canon of modern art. The goal of this book is to be a starting point for understanding modern art as a broad and inclusive field of study. The topics examine diverse formal expressions, innovative conceptual approaches, and various media used by artists around the world and forcefully acknowledge the connections between art, historical circumstances, political environments, and social issues such as gender, race, and social justice. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, imperial and colonial history, modernism, and globalization.

Kulturtransferprozesse im postimperialen Umfeld
Der vorliegende Band sammelt Beiträge zur internationalen Tagung, die vom 12. bis 15. Oktober 2022 unter Beteiligung von Historikern, Germanisten, Juristen, Soziologen aus Deutschland, Österreich, den USA, Ungarn und Rumänien in Sibiu als abschließende Veranstaltung im Rahmen des Projekts "Deutsche Sprache und Kultur in Rumänien (1918-1933). Postimperiales Gefüge, öffentlicher Diskurs und Kulturfelder" stattfand. Das vom rumänischen Ministerium für Forschung und Innovation zwischen 2019-2022 finanzierte Vorhaben hatte zum Ziel alle Elemente zu erfassen, zu vertiefen und miteinander zu verknüpfen, die das durchaus vielfältige Mosaik der Präsenz der deutschen Sprache und Kultur auf dem Gebiet des rumänischen Staates nach der Vereinigung aller historischen Provinzen mit mehrheitlich rumänischsprachiger Bevölkerung ausmachten. Die Tagung beleuchtete weitere Aspekte seines Anliegens, eine für den 1918 neu definierten staatlichen Raum Rumäniens wesentliche Momentaufnahme des kontinuierlichen deutschrumänischen Kulturtransfers zu rekonstruieren.
Immanuel Weißglas
Der vorliegende Band unternimmt den Versuch, in einer Gesamtschau den Dichter Immanuel Weißglas vorzustellen. Das Immanuel Weißglas umgebende Dunkel ist bisher nur unter wenigen Gesichtspunkten ausgelotet worden, - eine Tatsache, die sicherlich zu großen Teilen, aber nicht nur, auf der schöpferischen und biographischen Diskretion des Dichters beruht. Diesem Schatten möchte die Sammlung entgegen treten: Die vielfältigen Perspektiven vermögen in gebündelter Form Immanuel Weißglas ́ Leben und sein darin wurzelndes Werk aufzulichten. Der unscheinbaren Silhouette des weitgehend Unbekannten stärkere Konturen zu verleihen - dies ist das Bestreben der hier vereinigten Dokumente und Beitr...
