Recenzii

"A sparkling collection of essays which adds reflections on the motifs and rhetorics of contagion to the concept and history of the European artistic avant-gardes. As such it’s a valuable contribution to the deepening of our understanding of these formations."
David Cottington, Kingston University, London

"This is a welcome and all too timely volume, taking up the significance of the avant-garde’s ‘rhetorics of contagion,’ the idea of ‘art-as-infection,’ and relays between visuality and virality in the long histories of hygienic discourses and practices."
Allison Morehead, Queen’s University, Canada
