Dada (or Dadaism) as a book category covers works aligned with the avant‑garde movement that emerged around 1916–1923 in Zurich, Berlin, and Paris, defined by a deliberate rejection of conventional logic, narrative, and aesthetic norms. Books in this genre include manifestos, sound and visual poetry, experimental prose, collaged or found texts, and artist books that use chance operations, typographic play, multilingual fragments, and disruptive layouts. Often satirical, anti‑bourgeois, and born from disillusionment after World War I, Dada literature questions meaning, authorship, and the art market while embracing absurdity, provocation, and play. Readers can expect fragmented or non-narrative forms, radical juxtapositions of text and image, and sometimes performance scores or instructions. Key figures include Tristan Tzara, Hugo Ball, Hans (Jean) Arp, Kurt Schwitters, Francis Picabia, and Marcel Duchamp, and the category also encompasses later works that consciously adopt Dada strategies.
