Contextual Practice: Assemblage and the Erotic in Postwar Poetry and Art

By Stephen Fredman

Fredman makes the original argument that some of the most innovative works of poetry and art in the postwar period (1945-1970) engaged in a "contextual practice," a term that refers both to a way of making art characterized by assemblage and to a new relationship between art and life, an "erotic poetics."
