Zusammenfassung:A systematic transnational investigation of post-war literary experiments in Europe and the AmericasClarifies concepts, provides a well-defined methodology and presents a wide array of international case studiesIntroduces the reader to major experimental authors and avant-garde traditions (that are often under-discussed) highlighting the transnational and interartistic context out of which they emergedPuts new figures on the map while repositioning more established writers. In doing so, it points the way to further investigations, whose methodological foundations this book purports to establishWhat are the forms in which the avant-garde returns after the Second World War? How does the literary avant-garde re-invent itself without losing its affinity with historical avant-garde currents such as surrealism and futurism?This book explores the international relevance of the concept of neo-avant-garde for the study of post-war literary innovations covering North American, Latin American, Caribbean, Austrian, French, British, Belgian, Dutch and German cases. Each of the twenty-one newly commissioned chapters combines theoretical reflection with practical analysis. Together, they provide a multi-faceted account of diverse group and trends, such as the New Realists, Black Arts Movement, Labris and the Vienna Group. They also focus on a wide range of authors, like Pierre Alferi, Amiri Baraka, Konrad Bayer, Mario Bellatín, Kamau Brathwaite, and Anna Kavan. In addition, they pay attention to specific techniques, including erasure, lyricisation, and montage, and to specific genres such as comic books, experimental fiction, and visual poetry
