Dada formed in 1916, embedded in a world of rational appearances that belied a raging
confusion - in the middle of the First World War, in the neutral centre of a warring
continent, fundamentally at the heart of Western art. This book sets out new coordinates
in revision of a formation that Western art history routinely exhausts through its
characterisation as a revolutionary movement of anarchic cultural dissent, and does
so in order to contest the perpetuated assumptions about Dada that underlie the popular
myth. Dada is difficult and the response to it is not easy, and what emerge from the
theoretical readings developed here are profoundly rational bases to the Dada non-sense
that pitted itself against its civilised age, critically and implicitly to propose
that Dada courses as vitally today as it did in 1916. The Zurich Dada formation initiated
deliberate and strategic cultural engagements that struggled then, as they do now,
to cohere in any sense as a movement extreme in their ranges as diametrically hostile
oppositionalities. Dada may be given art historically as identifiable along a trajectory
of sustained ruptures and seizures, but it confounds all attempts at defined or definitive
readings. This book duly offers not a history of Dada in Zurich but theoretical engagements
of the emergencies and now the residue of the years 1916-19 from lautgedichte to
laughter, masks to manifestos, chance to chiasmata - rounding to the permanent Dada
by which the formation ultimately breaks the containment and deep peace of art historical
chronology
