Marinetti. Her book explores the relations between the seemingly unrelated goals of Italian Futurism: technical revolution, espousal of violence, avowed misogyny, and rejection of literary tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlum argues for the centrality of the rhetoric of gender in Marinetti's work. She also investigates a diverse array of his futurist textual practices that range from formal experimentation with \"words in freedom\" to nationalist manifestos that advocate intervention in World War I and anticipate subsequent fascist rhetoric of power and virility. A major contribution to the study of the twentieth-century avant-garde and the first full-length study of Marinetti in English, \u003ci\u003eThe Other Modernism\u003c\/i\u003e will interest all those concerned with twentieth-century literature, culture, and society and the problem of modern subjectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCinzia Sartini Blum\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Italian at the University of Iowa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 9 x 6.03 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 21, 1996\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42133472411783,"sku":"9780520200494","price":55.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/010fc29f59f01541b74a8895df29a273.webp?v=1732634602","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-other-modernism-f-t-marinettis-futurist-fiction-of-power-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
