This publication is the result of the close collaboration between individuals and institutions from several European countries, with different historical, political as well as professional backgrounds but with common interests in the critical debate about the modernist heritage and its interpretation in the post-modern times, in different social and political systems.

In 2017 steirische herbst, one of the oldest multidisciplinary contemporary art festivals in Europe, will take place for the 50th time. Since its founding in 1968, the festival for performance art, theatre, visual arts, music, architecture, dance, literature, film and theory has been a platform for the lively debate concerning the complex social, political and economic conditions of the present.
