| Abstract: | The contribution explores the avant-garde’s engagement
with war through the lens of three significant civilizational conflicts: World War I, World
War II, and the currently ongoing invasions of Ukraine and Palestine. Drawing directly on
the literary works of Slovenian poet Srečko Kosovel, German playwright Bertolt Brecht, and
Ukrainian poets Mykola Khvylovy, Victoria Amelina, and Artem Chekh, as well as Palestinian
poets Najwan Darwish and Saleem Al-Naffar, the contribution examines how avant-garde
literary figures respond to and are shaped by war. Spanning the three interwar and
postwar periods in a comparative perspective, particular interest is placed in the tension
between death and humanity as increasingly dependent on technology that cripples the
human body and mind most destructively in times of war. |
