Description

Explore the complex world of Eastern European underground culture in Underground Modernity: Urban Poetics in East-Central Europe, Pre- and Post-1989. Published by Central European University Press as part of the Leipzig Studies on the History and Culture of East-Central Europe, this scholarly work provides a deep look into the aesthetic strategies used in literature, art, film, and music. Literary scholar Alfrun Kliems examines the decades surrounding the fall of communism, tracing movements from the Prague Underground figure Egon Bondy to the neo-dada Club of Polish Losers in Berlin. This study looks at works produced illegally or those that became subversive after political regimes changed. Instead of treating the term Underground as a simple label for nonconformism, this book presents it as a sociopoetic phenomenon. It is an essential resource for those studying the history, art, and cultural shifts of East-Central Europe during a period of massive transition.
