This title brings Venice into the geography of modernity as a living city rather than a metaphor for death, and presents the archipelago as a crucible for those seeking to define and transgress the conceptual limits of modernism. In strategic detours from the capitals of modernity, Scappettone charts an elusive 'extraterritorial' modernism that compels us to redraft the confines of modernist culture in both geographical and historical terms.
