Demonstrating that the origins of collage are found in assembly line technologies and mass media forms of layout and advertising in early twentieth-century newspapers, \u003ci\u003eCollage Culture\u003c\/i\u003e traces how the historical avant-garde turns the fragmentation of Fordist production against nationalist, fascist, and capitalist ideologies, using the radical potential unleashed by new technologies to produce critical collages.\nDavid Banash adeptly surveys the reinvention of collage by a generation of postmodern artists who develop new forms including cut-ups, sampling, zines, plagiarism, and copying to cope with the banalities and demands of consumer culture. Banash argues that collage mirrors the profoundly dialectical relations between the cut of assembly lines and the readymades of consumerism even as its cutting-edges move against the imperatives of passive consumption and disposability instituted by those technologies, forms, and relations.\n\u003ci\u003eCollage Culture\u003c\/i\u003e surveys and analyzes works of advertising, assemblage, film, literature, music, painting, and photography from the historical avant-garde to the most recent developments of postmodernism.","brand":"David Banash","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48268241469691,"sku":"9789042036819","price":127.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9789042036819.jpg?v=1772491633","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/collage-culture-9789042036819","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
