Abstract

Montage was one of the great innovations of avant-garde literature. As time went by, this technique lost some of its shock eff ect and became increasingly a method for structuring the text. After the avant-garde literature movement, collage started to be mentioned as a concept together with montage, many times as a complement, but the concepts are often blended into each other. In this article, there will be an attempt to delimit what is montage and what is collage through an exposition of some theories and the examination of the way they are applied in the work of a contemporary writer, the German Walter Kempowski.

Keywords: Montage. Collage. World War II.
