Debeljak, Ales, 1961-2016. Reluctant modernity: the institution of art and its historical forms. Foreword by Stjepan Mestrovic. Lanham: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 1998, xxiv, 211pp., PAPERBACK, used copy with pencil or ink markings on about 20 scattered pages, mostly in margins, small amount of underlining. nicely INSCRIBED to full-named recipient, and SIGNED Alex Debeljak on half-title. In this book Ale Debeljak offers a refreshing alternative to postmodernists such as Baudrillard who declare the death of art conceived as yet another source of rootless circulating fictions. Inspired by the melancholy critical theory of Adorno and Bejamin, Debeljak shows that with the dawning of modernity, art was made autonomous - art production was effectively emancipated from the exigencies of everyday life and its guiding ideal of purposive rationality. The deterioration of bourgeois liberal individualism into the narcissism of modern mass society accompanied the decomposition of art into simplified mass art and commercialized kitsch. Today, argues Debeljak, postmodern art is subjected to infinite reproducibility, total integration into mass society, and political resignation - it no longer represents an alternative reality. The postmodern institution of art thus cannot be simply cured of modern structures and assumptions, but is, instead, fated to a continuous and painful relationship with modernity. - CONTENTS: Foreword / Stjepan Mestrovic -- Ch. 1.

Softcover. Condizione: Like New. Inscribed by Translator "26 March 1994 For Karen - More.Christopher Merrill". Written over a year before civil war broke out in the former republic of Yugoslavia, this introduction to English-speaking readers of a poet highly acclaimed in his homeland cannot help but be read in light of recent events. With a haunting sense of urgency and prophecy, the speaker searches "the depths of memory" for "destroyed villages you wanted to forget." Indistinct himself, the speaker's landscape is peopled with shadows. A cigarette butt, a littered street, an open window or a doorstep suddenly take on epic proportions. The dominoes children play with are "made from the bones of animals." Rain inexplicably seems to presage an earthquake. Absorbed within these highly evocative landscapes, man at first seems to be at war with nature; as page piles on page, we begin to realize it's man at war with man, with nature caught in the crossfire. But man does have a choice, Debeljak tells the reader, in what also seems an attempt to convince himself. While these seven lyrical prose-poem sequences have a travel theme, the emotional climax comes in the book's last three sections: here men can stay or go; each is responsible for his own fate. Readers, by this time hanging on the speaker's every word, are left mercilessly on the precipice. Signed by Significant Other.…
