File:Understanding Intermedial Quoting- Architecture of Yugoslav Modernism as Quotation within Contemporary Art.pdf

Summary[edit]

Sonja Jankov's study focuses on intermedial quoting, a type of intersemiotic intertextuality that is created by inter-relations of works originating from different disciplines or arts. It approaches modernist architectural heritage and contemporary artistic practices of the 21st century as texts that form intertextual relations. The book brings close historic, art-historic and semantic analysis of the architecture built by Yugoslav architects and construction companies in the country and abroad, as well as over twenty in-depth analyses of contemporary artworks that are quoting such architecture from a temporal distance, decades after Yugoslavia ceased to exist as a country. It is recommended to all interested in contemporary art, intertextuality, methodology of practice-based artistic research, Yugoslav architecture, semiology of architecture, poststructuralist approach to art, cultures of memory, politics of forgetting, as well as in general relations between architectural heritage and arts.
