Offeringnew critical approaches to Dada as quintessential part of theAvant-Garde, Dada and Existentialism: the Authenticity of Ambiguity reassessesthe movement as a form of (proto-) Existentialist philosophy. Dada isoften dismissed as an anti-art movement with a merely destructive theoreticalimpetus. French Existentialism is often condemned for its perceived quietistimplications. However, closer analysis reveals a preoccupation with philosophyin the former and with art in the latter. Moreover, neither was nonsensical ormeaningless; both reveal a rich individualist ethics aimed at the ameliorationof the individual and society. The first major comparative study of Dada andExistentialism, this text contributes new perspectives on Dada as movement,historical legacy, and field of study. Analysing Dada works throughExistentialist literature across the themes of choice, alienation,responsibility, freedom and truth, the text posits that Dada and Existentialismboth advocate the creation of a self that aims for authenticity throughambiguity.

Comics have great potential to depict an almost infinite range of themes, questions and lives. But what about their ability to express and interpret philosophical concepts? How can we differentiate between the representation of theoretical concepts in and of themselves, and the impact of comics techniques on the legacy of philosophers, their lives and their thought?This book explores the historical and artistic value of representing lives through the medium of bande dessinée (BD), French-language comics. The text analyses three biographical BDs dedicated to the lives of Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir and Albert Camus as well as a selection of print and online comics that extend the legacy of these philosophers and their historical movement. The work is the first to analyse biographical BD through the lens of Existentialism, offering a new theory of reading biographical comics. The research not only contributes a novel approach to comics but also an enhanced understanding of Existentialism and the Existentialists, including their enduring contemporary relevance.
