Reviews
Well aware of the manifold ironies that attend the notion of an avant-garde tradition, Suleiman carefully deconstructs many of the paradoxes that accompany such a presumably radical enterprise. Through close examinations of the French writers Andreacute; Breton, Alain Robbe-Grillet and Georges Bataille, she goes on to uncover a sexual-political dimension to the work of the male avant-garde that has been left unexplored...A dauntingly comprehensive demonstration of the way different feminist approaches may be combined to engage a wide range of readings...A deep and moving insight., [A] dense and witty, cultivated and bold, serious and high-spirited volume...Rich in the historical and critical insight of at least fifteen years' work in the field, responsive to two disparate women's movements--the French and the American--neither one of which is itself homogeneous, this series of eight interconnected essays offers a kaleidoscopic literary history--of texts, contexts, pretexts, and perspectives--which challenges...not only the maps, but the mappings of modernism/postmodernism that have been setting agendas in cultural studies and in the art world over the last half dozen years...The brilliance, agility, and wisdom of this [book] will give readers of any persuasion who are looking for a 'politically,' or 'humanistically' correct program plenty of reason to feel challenged., A compelling account of the way gender has shaped the historical avant-garde, above all in France. She investigates both how the material experience of gender informed men and women's participation in avant-garde movements and the use of gender in avant-garde representations. Her discussion is nuanced, careful to situate the problematic of gender and the avant-garde in its broader social and aesthetic contexts...It is clear that the book will continue to occupy an important place on the shelf of anyone studying the history and theory of the avant-garde both for its scholarship and for its fine close analyses of art and literature., Well aware of the manifold ironies that attend the notion of an avant-garde tradition, Suleiman carefully deconstructs many of the paradoxes that accompany such a presumably radical enterprise. Through close examinations of the French writers André Breton, Alain Robbe-Grillet and Georges Bataille, she goes on to uncover a sexual-political dimension to the work of the male avant-garde that has been left unexplored...A dauntingly comprehensive demonstration of the way different feminist approaches may be combined to engage a wide range of readings...A deep and moving insight.
