Vom polyfonen zum intermedialen und intermaterialen Dialog: Kurt Schwitters und Otto Nebel

Kurt Schwitters and Otto Nebel published for the first time at the end of the 1910s in Herwarth Walden's famous expressionist magazine Der Sturm. While Schwitters soon made the leap into the international avant-garde, Nebel remained rather unknown. This is surprising, since we know that he created works that interact in many ways with those of Schwitters. This article shows the complexity of the intertextual and intermedial relationships between Schwitters' and Nebel's works. In this way, an exemplifying contribution is made towards the intermediality within the avant-gardes, and at the same time Nebel's work is brought into the focus of today's literary-historical research.
