"The Aesthetic Experience of the 20th century: Avant-garde and Post-modernism"

Drawing from various attempts to define the avant-garde, from syntactic-semiotic relationships to pragmatics, the article approaches the notion in question in terms of the reactions it provokes and inspires. Seeing the avant-garde as a peculiar form of rhetoric which challenges pre-established assumptions concerning the whole variety of artistic practices, the articles identifies a number of both parallel and contrasting qualities between the internal mechanisms of the avant-garde and those of postmodernist cultural production, some of which run along the line of originality: just as the avant-garde highlighted the uniqueness of its own expression, post-modernism celebrates repetition and intertextuality.
