Professor Slavkova has a PhD in Art History from Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne dealing with the reaction of several avant-garde art movements to the humanism crisis around World World I. Stemming from this interdisciplinary dissertation, her monograph “Réparer l'homme. La crise de l’humanisme et l’Homme nouveau des avant-gardes autour de la Grande Guerre (1909-1929)” (2020, Dijon, Presses du Réel) explores the New Man of Futurism and the Bauhaus, their faith in the construction of a better world thanks to the Great War, their take on the evolving definitions of the self and the humanist subject in the beginning of the 20th century. Prof. Slavkova is actually working on a second book on artworld in Paris after World War II, focussing on the largely downplayed concept of abhumanism, and artists such as Jacques Audiberti, Camille Bryen and Wols. This project participates in a larger scholarly effort to reassess the European avant-garde after the Second World War, and to redefine the very notion of the avant-garde after this second catastrophe in the heart of the European civilization. She has edited volumes and published papers on topics related to art in the context of the world wars as well as on art education.

Hard copy textbook

Digital textbook with interactive resources (animations, and interactive visual analysis)
