Abstract

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. The publication will be of interest to scholars and students of European art, literature and cultural history, as well as to the informed general public.

Abstract

This collaborative arts research project compares the landmark discovery of the Staffordshire Hoard, the largest hoard of Anglo-Saxon gold and silver metalwork discovered in 2009, with an imagined hoard from present day pre-adolescent girls. The collaborators constructed a subterranean installation, generated speculative historical documents, collected and embellished social networking "artifacts," and photographed the entire process. In addition to dealing with the notion of a medieval hoard as a signifier of a medieval warrior as both hero and anti-hero, this artbook, or work of futurist archaeology, addresses contemporary issues relating to gender, youth culture, bullying, adolescent development, iconicity, status symbols, and additional contemporary tween issues.The fabricated hoard presented here is comprised of the trappings of current "tween" girl culture -- for example, cell phones decorated with hot pink crystals, necklaces with twinkling pendants, personalized/defaced dolls, and religious objects. As our future archeologists study these and other objects, the greater context of bullying emerges: the hoard objects were stolen from one group of tween girls by another. This project suggests a reconceptualization of treasure, the acts of hoarding and archiving, and the visual cultures of both tween girls and medieval warriors.Bloodshed and intense physicality marked the medieval warrior's existence. Weaponry was not just a medieval necessity but also a status symbol. Young girls impose just as much meaning to their specific visual culture, and though they do not (always) rely on physical violence, the act of bullying can be just as devastating. The question of how we deal with violence associated with historical, and gendered, objects is central to this project, which also confronts the form of the traditional collection of scholarly essays with the intense visuality of an artist book. The photographs and graphic design of this volume are just as important as the content of the essays themselves. This volume depends on the fruitful collisions between the "scholarly" and "creative" processes. Even the tone of the writing showcased here intentionally travels from fictional accounts to academic scholarship to personal accounts of bullying.The South Station Hoard depends on such disciplinary fusion, intentionally mixing it up with medieval studies, art history, gender studies, art education, and photography, while also being aimed at various groups of students as well as experts in various fields. Because of the seemingly ubiquitous presence of bullies in all arenas of young adult life, and beyond, it is hoped that this volume will be useful for educators, counselors, and mentors of both young girls and boys.

Abstract

Drawing on recent feminist and psychoanalytic criticism, Cinzia Sartini Blum provides the first analysis of the rhetoric, politics, and psychology of gender in the avant-garde writings of the Italian Futurist F.T. 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. Blum 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, The Other Modernism will interest all those concerned with twentieth-century literature, culture, and society and the problem of modern subjectivity.
