Entre insubordination radicale, amour fou et désertion éperdue, la fulgurance de l’itinéraire d’Arthur Cravan, boxeur et poète prédadaïste, qualifié par André Breton de « génie à l’état brut », n’a pas fini de fasciner : l’extrême modernité de son antimodernisme se révèle en effet aujourd’hui plus pertinente encore par son caractère visionnaire et irrécupérable.Les textes et documents ici rassemblés – dont certains sont inédits – permettent de saisir la singularité de sa démarche iconoclaste et d’appréhender dans toute son humanité celui qui, disparu il y a un siècle, redoutait déjà en ces termes l’artificialisation du sensible : « Dans la rue on ne verra bientôt plus que des artistes et l’on aura toutes les peines du monde à y découvrir un homme. »

The legendary poet and boxer Arthur Cravan, a fleeting figure on the periphery of early twentieth-century European avant-gardism, is frequently invoked as proto-Dada and Surrealist exemplar. Yet he remains an insubstantial phenomenon, not seen since 1918, lost through historical interstices, clouded in drifting untruths. This study processes philosophical positions into a practical recovery -- from nineteenth-century Nietzsche to twentieth-century Deleuze -- with thoughts on subjectivity, metaphor, representation and multiplicity. From fresh readings and new approaches -- of Cravan's first published work as a manifesto of simulation; of contributors to his Paris review Maintenant as impostures for the Delaunays; and of the conjuring of Cravan in Picabia's elegiac film Entr'acte -- The fictions of Arthur Cravan concludes with the absent poet-boxer's eventual casting off into a Surrealist legacy, and his becoming what metaphor is: a means to represent the world.
