Het begrip Gesamtkunstwerk wordt doorgaans met grote vanzelfsprekendheid gekoppeld aan de figuur van Richard Wagner. Hierbij wordt de specifieke inhoud van de term vaak verengd tot ?het samenbrengen van de verschillende kunstvormen in een multimediaal totaalspektakel?. Dit boek schetst een tijdlijn die loopt van de Verlichting tot de Hoogromantiek in Duitsland, en wil door prominente denkers als Alexander Baumgarten, Immanuel Kant en E.T.A. Hoffmann in het verhaal te betrekken, peilen naar de diepste wortels van het Gesamtkunstwerk. Een brede culturele analyse van het tijdsgewricht waarin de notie tot stand kwam, verklaart waarom de muziek in de negentiende eeuw haar amusementsfunctie oversteeg en de voertaal werd om de dunne grens tussen rationaliteit en irrationaliteit, en tussen individu en samenleving, te thematiseren.

How Dada is to break its cultural accommodation and containment today necessitates thinking the historical instances through revised application of critical and theoretical models. The volume Dada Culture: Critical Texts on the Avant-Garde moves precisely by this motive, bringing together writings which insist upon the continuity of the early twentieth-century moment now at the start of the twenty-first. Engaging the complex and contradictory nature of Dada strategies, instanced in the linguistic gaming and performativity of the movement's initial formation, and subsequently isolating the specific from the general with essays focusing on Ball, Tzara, Serner, Hausmann, Dix, Heartfield, Schwitters, Baader, Cravan and the exemplary Duchamp, the political philosophy of the avant-garde is brought to bear upon our own contemporary struggle through critical theory to comprehend the cultural usefulness, relevance, validity and effective (or otherwise) oppositionality of Dada's infamous anti-stance. The volume is presented in sections that progressively point towards the expanding complexity of the contemporary engagement with Dada, as what is often exhaustive historical data is forced to rethink, realign and reconfigure itself in response to the analytical rigour and exercise of later twentieth-century animal anarchic thought, the testing and cultural placement of thoughts upon the virtual, and the eventual implications for the once blissfully unproblematic idea of expression. From the opening, provocative proposition that historically Dada may have been the falsest of all false paths, the volume rounds to dispute such condemnation as demarcation continues not only of Dada's embeddedness in western culture, but more precisely of the location of Dada culture.
