A study of the role of 'little magazines' and their contribution to the making of artistic modernism and the avant-garde across Europe, this volume is a major scholarly achievement of immense value to those interested in material culture of the 20th century.
La domination de l’Europe sur le monde s’accentue et s’accélère à la suite de la Grande Guerre. Dans le même mouvement cependant, les valeurs d’humanisme qui fondent la civilisation européenne, pour lors mondialisées, interrogent et mettent en cause l’histoire et la politique de l’Europe. Les sourdes pressions qui s’exercent sur la conscience européenne, des marges de son expansion universelle autant qu’en son propre sein, seront, entre 1923 et 1939, progressivement moins fortes que celles qui expriment avec une dernière violence les pulsions qui travaillent de l’intérieur la tradition des supériorités éprouvées et des anciens triomphes de l’Europe.

The collection of essays The Avant-garde and the Margin: New Territories of the Modernist Avant-garde refigures the critical and historical picture of the modernist avant-garde by introducing a variety of less-commonly discussed geo-artistic sites and dynamics. The contributors explore the multifaceted relations established between the avant-garde “centers” (France, Germany, England, and others) and their counterparts in the cultural “periphery” (Greece, India, Japan, Poland, Quebec, Romania, and the former Yugoslavia), as well as the unique artistic and literary dialogues which these encounters engendered. The primary concern of the anthology is the set of relations established betw...

Tzara - who himself coined the term "Dada," inspired by an obscure connection of his birthday to an Orthodox saint - was at the Cabaret Voltaire that night, along with fellow Romanians Marcel, Jules, and Georges Janco and Arthur Segal. It's not a coincidence, Sandqvist argues, that so many of the first dadaist group was Romanians. Sandqvist traces the artistic and personal transformations that took place in the "little Paris of the Balkans" before they took center stage elsewhere, finding sources as varied as symbolism, futurism, and folklore. He points to a connection between Romanian modernists and the Eastern European Yiddish tradition; Tzara, the Janco brothers, and Segal all grew up within Jewish culture and traditions.".
