GROUP
DYNAMICS:
THE POLITICS AND POETICS OF FRIENDSHIP
EDITED
BY Fabio
A. Durão
and Dominic Williams
For
decades, the study
of literary and philosophical modernism concerned solitary figures like
the
flâneur, the exile, and the lonely genius, but recently the group
formations
that fostered modernist movements have emerged into view. The essays in
Modernist
Group Dynamics:
The Poetics and Politics of Friendship pursue
this new direction in modernist
scholarship, exploring the ways artists and intellectuals worked in
concert and
in conflict. Placing group formations, with all their promises and
problems, at
the centre of our study allows the contributors – scholars from
around the
world – to reconsider some of the best known figures of European
modernism, to
analyze collaborations across national boundaries, and to recover
modernist
groups in unexpected contexts like the so-called Third World.
