Description

This book explores bodily thinking in avant-garde texts from Spain and Italy of the early 20^th century and their relevance to modernist preoccupations with corporeality, examining the body as a locus for various aesthetic and sociopolitical considerations, and challenging the center/periphery frameworks of European cultural modernism. Essays visit the body as it was debated through poetic, literary, and artistic exchange, exploring its materiality and form, sociopolitical representation, relation to Self, cultural formation, spatiality, desires, objectification, commercialization, and aesthetic functions, contributing to Modernism, European Avant-garde Studies, and Comparative Literature.
