Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, and Wyndham Lewis have all, to varying degrees, been the subject of studies that explore their ideology. All too often, however, these studies have not tackled the issue adequately, limiting their analytical approach to fascism or other phenomena such as anti-Semitism. Frequently, they have also sought to exculpate these writers or to normalise their political tendencies in an effort to circumnavigate the dilemma of how to address the paradox of right-wing artists who are both harbingers and opponents of the imagined trajectory of progressive modernity. This interdisciplinary study analyses the connections between literary Modernism and right-wing ideology. Moreover, it is the first academic study to explore the reception of these Modernist authors by today's far right, seeking to understand in what ways they use strategic readings of Modernist texts to legitimise right-wing ideology. By raising fundamental questions about the relationship between aesthetics and politics, this study ultimately challenges its readers to see their cultural practices as political. It wants to make visible and problematize the interdependencies of right-wing ideology and cultural production as well as reception in order to explain the (far) Right as a phenomenon deeply rooted in European history and cultural development. It thus lays bare the misconceptions, the gaps as well as the complicity in the debate about right-wing ideology in literature.

Gase, Ultraschall und Radiowellen - die Werke des amerikanischen Konzeptkünstlers Robert Barry zeichnen sich durch einen eigenwilligen Materialgebrauch, Unsichtbarkeit und Unbestimmbarkeit aus. Die monographische Studie zu Robert Barry als einem der zentralen Vertreter der New Yorker Konzeptkunst der 1960er Jahre setzt bei der Materialität dieser Werke an. Entgegen Auffassungen einer entmaterialisierten Konzeptkunst folgt die Untersuchung von einer minimalistisch geprägten Malerei bis hin zu sprachlich formulierten Werken der wechselseitigen Bedingtheit von Material und Konzept. Im Kontext zeitgenössischer Theorien und Kontroversen liest die Autorin diese als kritische Auseinandersetzung mit einem modernistischen Kunstverständnis und als Reflexion von Visualität und Objekthaftigkeit, des Verhältnisses von Sprache, Material und Wahrnehmung und der Erscheinungsformen von Kunst.
