Women, Periodicals and Print Culture in Britain, 1890s-1920s
New perspectives on women's contributions to periodical culture in the era of modernismThis collection highlights the contributions of women writers, editors and critics to periodical culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It explores women's role in shaping conversations about modernism and modernity across varied aesthetic and ideological registers, and foregrounds how such participation was shaped by a wide range of periodical genres. The essays focus on well-known publications and introduce those as yet obscure and understudied - including middlebrow and popular magazines, movement-based, radical papers, avant-garde titles and classic Little Magazines. Examining ne...
Surveying the Avant-Garde
Surveying the Avant-Garde examines the art and literature of the Americas in the early twentieth century through the lens of the questionnaire, a genre as central as the manifesto to the history of the avant-garde. Questions such as “How do you imagine Latin America?” and “What should American art be?” issued by avant-garde magazines like Imán, a Latin American periodical based in Paris, and Cuba’s Revista de Avance demonstrate how editors, writers, and readers all grappled with the concept of “America,” particularly in relationship to Europe, and how the questionnaire became a structuring device for reflecting on their national and aesthetic identities in print. Through an an...
Modernism Edited
Examines Marianne Moore's editorship of the modernist magazine, the Dial between 1925 and 1929As editor of the Dial, Moore wielded considerable cultural authority in the world of arts and letters, yet cultural histories of modernist magazines have largely overlooked her editorial influence. Modernism Edited: Marianne Moore and the Dial Magazine makes visible Moore's contribution to the production of modernism even as it complicates the concept of editorial agency. It explores the public face of the modernist editor, the image of highbrow distinction circulated by the Dial and embodied by the figure of 'Miss Moore'. It also examines Moore's editorial practice as a form of modernist 'contracti...
The Roots of Cane
The Roots of Cane proposes a new way to read one of the most significant works of the New Negro Renaissance, Jean Toomer's Cane. John Young traces the many pieces of Cane that were dispersed across multiple modernist magazines from 1922 through 1923. Interweaving a periodical-studies approach to modernism with book history and critical race theory, Young resituates Toomer's uneasy place within Black modernism by asking how original readers would have encountered his work.
Dada Magazines
Dada magazines made Dada what it was: diverse, non-hierarchical, transnational, and defiant of the most fundamental artistic conventions. This first volume entirely devoted to Dada periodicals retells the story of Dada by demonstrating the centrality of these graphically inventive, provocative periodicals: Dada, New York Dada, Dada Jok, and dozens more that began crossing enemy lines during World War I. The book includes magazines from well-known Dada cities like New York and Paris as well as Zagreb and Bucharest, and reveals that Dada continued to inspire art journals into the 1920s. Anchored in close material analysis within a historical and theoretical framework, Dada Magazines models a n...
Annie Henry and the Birth of Liberty

La conquête du champ culturel péruvien
Ce livre est une étude externe de la lutte culturelle qui opposa les « indigénistes » péruviens aux « contemporains » de ce pays à la fin des années 1940 afin de dominer le champ artistique et le champ culturel péruvien. En l'espace de deux années (1947-1948), les « contemporains » se dotèrent de trois contre-institutions culturelles : l'Agrupación Espacio, la revue culturelle Las Moradas et la première galerie d'art privée du Pérou : la Galería Lima, qui allaient leur permettre de commencer la conquête du champ artistique et culturel péruvien, alors encore largement aux mains des indigénistes. Centrée sur l'étude de la revue Las Moradas, cette recherche présente aussi l'Agrupación Espacio, la Galería Lima ainsi que le rôle de la Peña Pancho Fierro qui joua un grand rôle en tant que salon indigéniste et café de l'avant-garde contemporaine de la Lima de la fin des années 1940. Ce livre constitue le tome 1 d'une série de deux ouvrages.
