{"product_id":"9781501369940","title":"Grotesque Visions : The Science of Berlin Dada (New Directions in German Studies)","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrotesque Visions focuses on the radical avant-garde interventions of Salomo Friedländer (aka Mynona), Til Brugman, and Hannah Höch as they challenged the questionable practices and evidentiary claims of late-19th- and early-20th-century science. Demonstrating the often excessive measures that pathologists, anthropologists, sexologists, and medical professionals went to present their research in a seemingly unambiguous way, this volume shows how Friedländer\/Mynona, Brugman, Höch, and other Berlin-based artists used the artistic grotesque to criticize, satirize, and subvert a variety of forms of supposed scientific objectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The volume concludes by examining the exhibition Grotesk!: 130 Jahre Kunst der Frechheit\/Comic Grotesque: Wit and Mockery in German Arts, 1870-1940. In contrast to the ahistorical and amorphous concept informing the exhibition, Thomas O. Haakenson reveals a unique deployment of the artistic grotesque that targeted specific established and emerging scientific discourses at the turn of the last fin-de-siècle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48847446180075,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":74.98,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781501369940-1.jpg?v=1781684753","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/zh\/products\/9781501369940","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
