{"product_id":"modernism-today-9789042037441","title":"Modernism Today","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book manifests at least four recent shifts and tendencies within Modernist studies in general that point at the expansion of this increasingly interdisciplinary field. First, Modernist studies has seen a temporal expansion, to the extent that scholars in the field have come to turn to both the pre- and posterior history of Modernism. Second, the field has witnessed a spatial expansion, in that increasingly so researchers have also come to scrutinize the Modernisms of regions at the fringes of Europe, and beyond. Thirdly, a vertical expansion too has marked Modernist studies in recent decades, not only by further expanding the canon of women writers and exploring the continuum between high- and lowbrow, but also by looking at the artistic and mediatized hierarchies and cross-fertilizations operative in the period. A fourth conceptual expansion of the field shows that whereas concepts such as “middlebrow”, “arrière-garde”, and to some extent even “avant-garde”, were once exotic notions of at best marginal importance in European Modernist studies, they now form part and parcel of the field, complicating and expanding it conceptually.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sjef Houppermans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48270250639611,"sku":"9789042037441","price":123.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_34c173dc-a1bf-48c9-a1ca-c0e1e112de3a.jpg?v=1773727940","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/modernism-today-9789042037441","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
