Abstract

This paper aims to explore how Dadaism addressed many aspects of human nature that audiences were not accustomed to seeing – from corrupt leaders, to war, to examination of the self and its place in society and culture – and the results of that focus. We underline the importance of the historical context of World War I for the birth of Dadaism, but we mostly pay attention to the aesthetic dimensions of the cultural and sociopolitical debates which took place at that time.
