Avant-Garde Arts and European Society in 1920s-30s

世纪初的先锋派艺术运动引发了艺术的根本变革，表现理论也是如此。考虑到它与20世纪20年代和30年代欧洲政治和社会基础设施变化的关系，我们打算在文学，美术或电影等各种流派中重新审视这一运动。为此，我们进行了三年的研究，特别注重以下几点：（1）考察法国、意大利、德国、俄罗斯、中国、日本等地区的先锋艺术发展，并以比较的观点来思考它们之间的交流与互动;（2）关注先锋主义的两个相互关联的方面，即，反传统创新（对过去的排斥）和创造新的艺术模式，其影响即使在今天也可以被观察到（对未来的影响）;（3）考虑到科学技术的发展，这引起了一些作家如谷克多和稻垣樽穗对飞机的兴趣;我们也认真对待了新形成的电影;（4）马克对意识形态背景的分析，以揭示先锋运动的政治和社会维度。这项研究的最终报告，题为《先锋主义的世纪》，于2001年11月在京都大学出版社出版，各章的标题如下：“为什么现在有先锋主义？“（导言）、“作为话语的先锋主义”（第一章）、“作为表现的先锋主义”（第二章）、“从现代主义到先锋主义”（第三章）、“文明史上的先锋主义”（第四章）。我们附上了专有名词和主题的索引，希望它能澄清文章之间的各种联系。

The Avant-Garde movement in art, at the beginning of the 20th century, gave rise to a radical change of art, as well as in the theory of representation. Taking into account its relation with changes in the political and social infrastructure of the Europe in 1920s and 30s, we intended to re-examine this movement in various genres such as literature, fine art or cinema. For this purpose, we have made research during three years, attaching importance especially to following points : (1) Examine the development of avant-grade art in areas such as France, Italy, Germany, Russia, China and Japan, before considering exchanges and interactions among them by comparative point of view; (2) Pay attention to the two correlative aspects of avant-gardism, that is, innovation against the tradition (repulsion against the past) and creation of new modes of art the influence of which can be ovserved even today (influence on the future) ; (3) Take into consideration developments in science and technology which aroused the interest of some authors like Cocteau and Inagaki Taruho in the airplane ; We have also taken seriously the cinema that had been newly formed ; (4) Mak analyses of the ideological context in order to shed light on the political and social dimension of avant-gardist movement.The final report of this research, entitled The Century of Avant-Gardism, was published in November 2001 at the Kyoto University Press.The title of each chapter is as follows : "Why the Avant-Gardism now?" (Introduction), "Avant-Gardism as Discourse" (Chapter I),"Avant-Gradism as Representation" (Chapter II), "From Modernism to Avant-Gardism" (Chapter III),"Avnat-Gardism in the History of Civilization" (Chapter IV). We have annexed the index of proper nouns and topics in the hope that it will clarify various connections between articles.
