Avant-Garde and Neo-Avant-Garde:
An Attempt to Answer Certain Critics of Theory of
the Avant-Garde
Peter Bürger*
Definitions
hat is an avant-garde?” I understand this question as a
provocation. The strategy is not a bad one, because some-
“Wtimes a provocation can bring about a surprising clarity, if
it causes the addressee to lay his cards on the table. Usually though, this
does not happen, and for good reason. Lacan was adamantly opposed
to speaking “le vrai du vrai,” arguing that the naked truth was always
disappointing. In his Logic, Hegel ridiculed the arbitrariness of defini-
tions that are supposed to pin down a concept to specific properties:
even though no other animal has an earlobe, it is not an adequate way
of defining human beings. And Nietzsche puts it concisely: “Only that
which has no history can be defined.”
If such different thinkers as Hegel, Nietzsche, and Lacan—I could
have also mentioned Adorno and Blumenberg—oppose definitions,
then we should listen to them. In fact, it is a practice that runs the risk
of depriving the concept of what keeps it alive: the contradictions that
it unites within itself. Hegel’s short text Who Thinks Abstractly? makes
this clear. A murderer is being taken to his place of execution. For the
bourgeois, who subjugates the world via definitions and calculations,
he is nothing but a murderer; he is, in other words, identical with his
act. For the old nurse, however, who, catching sight of the head of the
executed man, cries out, “Oh how beautifully the merciful sun of God
shines on Binder’s head,” he is a concrete individual, who has committed
a crime, received his deserved punishment for it, and is now partaking
of God’s grace.1
To be sure, dispensing with definitions causes problems.
