Emerging amid the brutality of World War I, the revolutionary Dada movement took disgust with the establishment as its starting point. From 1916 until the mid-1920s, artists in Zurich, Cologne, Hanover, Paris, and New York launched a radical assault on the politics, social values, and cultural conformity which they regarded as complicit in the devastating conflict. Dada artists shared no distinct style but rather a common wish to upturn societal structures as much as artistic standards and to replace logic and reason with the absurd, chaotic, and unpredictable. Their practice encompassed experimental theater, games, ... |

Съставители: Пенка Пейковска , Габор Деметер. ... Поради събитията от последните години миграцията се превърна в ключов въпрос, въпреки че тя винаги е имала решаващо влияние върху историята на човечеството (достатъчно е да споменем фазата ѝ, свързана с етногенезиса на съвременните народи през Ранното средновековие, по време на Великото преселение на народите). Характерът на днешната миграция обаче е друг - не защото предпочитат да я свържат с изменението на климата (което не е уникално), не и защото става дума за допира на народи с отличаващи се култури (живеещи от различни страни на Хънтингтъновите "гранични ... |
