Explanation: The content of the Research + Activism Bibliography is kept as a group library in the Zotero bibliography manager, and then pulled into this WordPress site through the ZotPress plug-in. Showing the bibliography on our WordPress site allows us to organize and narrate tagged categories to create what amounts to a conceptual map. But search capabilities are simpler. More advanced searching is available through direct online access to our Zotero bibliogaphy (but Zotero's own interface does not allow us to organize and narrate our tags).
For more advanced and granular search by author, title, year, and tag (with abstracts available), use the online interface of the Zotero group library holding our content. Click on "Go to Arrow to right, black Zotero"

In the Research + Activism Bibliography, the Avant-garde is part of a set of categories related to countercultures — movements that oppose, resist, or critique conventional or dominant society through cultural expression or practice (such as through art, lifestyle, etc.) Sub-categories of counterculture include:

  • Avant-garde — innovative artistic and cultural expression in early 20th-century historical avant-garde movements (e.g., dada, surrealism, futurism, etc.) as well as any artistic movements of the 20th and 21st centuries influenced by these movements (e.g., the late 20th century neo-avant-garde).
  • Mid 20th-Century Counterculture — cultural movements of the 1940s to 1960s opposed to dominant culture (e.g., the Beat movement)
  • 1960’s-1970’s Counterculture — including widely-known countercultural movements of the period such as the Hippie movement.
