Summary
The effort to go beyond given knowledge in different domains ? artistic, scientific, political, metaphysical ? is a characteristic driving force in modernism and the avant-gardes. The fifth EAM volume casts light on artists and writers who have investigated their medium, pursued political and religious aims, and explored hitherto unknown physical, social and conceptual spaces, often in ways that combine these forms of critical inquiry into one.
