Description
Oscar Wildes Worte, die Zukunft gehöre dem Dandy, scheinen sich in der modernen Mediengesellschaft zu bewahrheiten. Namentlich in den Bereichen von Kunst, Mode und Design ist der Dandy wieder gefragt. Doch sind die modischen Trendsetter der Postmoderne wirklich Dandys? Günter Erbe gelingt es, dem inflationären Gebrauch des Wortes „Dandy“ in der Öffentlichkeit eine substanzhaltige Bestimmung des Phänomens entgegenzustellen, das Angemaßte, falsch Etikettierte zu entlarven und dem entleerten Begriff seine eigentümliche Bedeutung zurückzugeben. Der Kulturwissenschaftler verbindet soziologische Analyse und geistesgeschichtliche Reflexion mit Porträtskizzen von Personen, die in unterschiedlicher Gewichtung und Konnotation ein modernes Dandytum repräsentieren: Harry Graf Kessler, Cecil Beaton, Hugo Ball, Francis Picabia, Jacques Vaché, Balthus, Hans Werner Henze, Fritz J. Raddatz, Andy Warhol, David Bowie, Sebastian Horsley, Karl Lagerfeld u.a. Mit diesem neuen Buch setzt Günter Erbe seine lebendige Kulturgeschichte mondäner Lebensentwürfe bis in die Gegenwart fort.
