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","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47591547142295,"sku":"9780520200494","price":2925.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780520200494.webp?v=1774973592","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-other-modernism-f-t-marinettis-futurist-fiction-of-power-9780520200494","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
