Abstract

Het Belgisch labyrint van Geert van Istendael is onmiddellijk na verschijnen toegejuicht als een klassieker in onze letteren. Taalgrens en ruimtelijke wanorde, de industriële glorie van Wallonië en de ellende van Brussel, Verkavelingsvlaams en plat Gents, Philips II en Willem I, zwart en wit, rechts pacifisme en links conservatisme, van Julius Caesar tot Bart De Wever, van Karel de Grote tot Elio Di Rupo; dit alles en nog veel meer vertelt, analyseert, vergelijkt, verklaart, vervloekt Geert van Istendael in dit boek. Hij is daarbij erudiet en grappig, soms keihard, dan weer vertederend, niet vies van krachtige standpunten, maar altijd met grote eerbied voor feiten en, in de mate van het mogelijke, objectiviteit.

Abstract

Expanding the horizon of established accounts of Central European art under socialism, this book uncovers the neglected history of artistic engagement with the natural environment in the Eastern Bloc. The turbulent legacy of 1968, which saw the confluence of political upheaval, spread of counterculture, rise of ecological consciousness, and emergence of global conceptual art, provides the setting for Maja Fowkes’s innovative reassessment of the environmental practice of the Central European neo-avant-garde. Focussing on artists and artist groups whose ecological dimension has rarely been considered, including the Pécs Workshop from Hungary, OHO in Slovenia, TOK in Croatia, Rudolf Sikora in Slovakia, and the Czech artist Petr Štembera, 'The Green Bloc: Neo-avant-garde Art and Ecology under Socialism' brings to light an array of distinctive approaches to nature, from attempts to raise environmental awareness among socialist citizens to the exploration of non-anthropocentric positions and the quest for cosmological existence in the midst of red ideology. Embedding artistic production in social, political, and environmental histories of the region, this book reveals the Central European artists’ sophisticated relationship to nature, at the precise moment when ecological crisis was first apprehended on a planetary scale.

Abstract

The history of modern Europe is often presented with the hindsight of present-day European integration, which was a genuinely liberal project based on political and economic freedom. Many other visions for Europe developed in the 20th century, however, were based on an idea of community rooted in pre-modern religious ideas, cultural or ethnic homogeneity, or even in coercion and violence. They frequently rejected the idea of modernity or reinterpreted it in an antiliberal manner. Anti-liberal Europe examines these visions, including those of anti-modernist Catholics, conservatives, extreme ri
