In 1909 the Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti's Founding
Manifesto of Futurism was published on the front page of Le Figaro.
Between 1909 and 1912 the Futurists published over thirty
manifestos, celebrating speed and danger, glorifying war and
technology, and advocating political and artistic revolution. This
collection of essays aims to reassess the activities of the Italian
Futurist movement from an international and interdisciplinary
perspective, focusing on its activities and legacies in the field
of poetry, painting, sculpture, theatre, cinema, advertising and
politics. The essays offer exciting new readings in gender
politics, aesthetics, historiography, intermediality and
interdisciplinarity. They explore the works of major players of the
movement as well as its lesser-known figures, and the often
critical impact of Futurism on contemporary or later avant-garde
movements such as Cubism, Dada and Vorticism. -- .
