Graduate Readings:

Dorothea Dietrich, "Love as Commodity:  Kurt Schwitters's Collages of Women," in Women in Dada:  Essays on Sex, Gender, and Identity, Naomi Sawelson-Gorse, Ed. (Cambridge: MIT Press), 1998, pp. 206-239.  Does Dietrich support her assumption that Schwitter's work is an example of conflicting political, social, and cultural trends and that Schwitter's avowed break wit tradition was only superficial?

Maud Lavin, "Hannan Höch's From An Ethnographic Museum," in Women in Dada:  Essays on Sex, Gender, and Identity, Naomi Sawelson-Gorse, Ed. (Cambridge:  MIT Press, 1998), pp. 330-359.   Do you agree with Manuela Hoelterhoff that Höch's post-Dada work lack the political intensity of that made during the Dada period, or agree with Lavin that her "From an Ethnographic Museum" reflects a "sophisticated critical language of social commentary concerning the typology and conditions of the modern woman"?
