Description

Militant Modernism explores an alternative vision of modernity, one that engages with everyday life and questions of socialism, sexual politics, and technology. This book offers new perspectives on familiar figures like Bertolt Brecht and Le Corbusier, as well as lesser-known modernists whose work has been overlooked.

The chapters delve into various aspects of modernist culture, including industrial aesthetics in Britain, Russian Constructivism in architecture, the influence of Wilhelm Reich's Sexpol on film and design, and the alienating effects of Brecht and Hanns Eisler on record and screen. By examining these topics, Militant Modernism presents a nuanced understanding of modernity that challenges prevailing narratives.
