The series also contains as a subseries the reference work A Cultural History of the Avant-Garde in the Nordic Countries, which provides a comprehensive overview and in-depth analysis of the cultural manifestations of the avant-garde in the Nordic countries from 1900-2010s.
Due to its success and the continued need to decenter the avant-garde we are continuing this format in a Companion Series, poignantly called: A Cultural History of the Avant-Garde: A Companion Series. Here you can soon explore more regions covered.

Contributions are by internationally renowned scholars, while at the same time, the NKJ offers a platform for young talent. Although articles are mostly in English, the NKJ aims to encourage international exchange: contributions in Dutch, French or German are also published, accompanied by an English summary.
