Spuren der Avantgarde: Theatrum anatomicum - Frühe Neuzeit und Moderne im Kulturvergleich

The book series Theatrum Scientiarum presents original contributions at the interface of philosophy, history of the humanities, cultural and theater studies. This 5th volume focuses on the anatomical theater representing a model which became formative for the production of knowledge and also for the practices of the arts, law, politics and culture. The avant-garde movements of the 20th century with their strategies of fragmentation and the systematic cut are a pithy, programmatic counterpole of the Early Modern Age.
