McCAFFERY, Larry

p. xix :

Like the avant-garde, Avant-Pop often relies on the use of radical aesthetic methods to confuse, confound, bewilder, piss off, and generally blow the fuses of ordinary citizens exposed to it (a "deconstructive strategy") - but just as frequently it does so with the intention of creating a sense of delight, amazement, and amusement ("reconstructive").
