"High" Und "Low" - Zur Interferenz Von Hoch- Und Popularkultur in Der Gegenwartsliteratur (German, Book)

The history of aesthetics portrays the relationship between high and low, i.e. between high and popular culture, as being strongly antagonistic. On the other hand crossovers to illegitimate forms of art, the integration of various forms of non-art and a striking appreciation of accessory parts or the supposedly secondary have become a programmatic element in the historic avant-garde.The anthology investigates this conflicting relationship as reflected in various current examples."
