My dissertation uses a variety of critical methods (socio-political, historical, philological, narratological and feminist), along with the stylistic analysis and close reading of individual works, to study and assess the importance of Fillia’s literature, theater, art, political activism, and beyond. Far from being derivative and reactionary in form and content, as interwar futurism has often been characterized, Fillia’s works deploy subtler, but no less innovative forms of experimentation. For most of his brief but highly productive life, Fillia lived and worked in Turin, where in the early 1920s he came into contact with Antonio Gramsci and his factory councils.

More impor- tantly, the artist himself favored a formalist interpretation since the late 1930s, which has all but precluded historical approaches to his work except for a few notable exceptions.2 The critic Cesare Brandi, who inaugurated the formalist discourse on Morandi, wrote in 1939 that “nothing is less abstract, less uproot- ed from the world, less indifferent to pain, less deaf to joy than this painting, which apparently retreats to the margins of life and interests itself, withdrawn, in dusty kitchen cupboards.”3 In order to further remove Morandi from the 1.

    Este documento es un borrador de la versión publicada en: Fernández Castrillo, C. (2014). Depero and Photo-performance. En: Futurist Depero. 1913-1950. Manuel Fontán del Junco (ed.). Madrid: Fundación Juan March, 2014, pp. 287-291. © De los textos los autores DEPERO and Photo-performance. Carolina Fernández Castrillo The dichotomy between art and technology (episteme/techne or artes liberales/artes mechanicae) has determined the evolution of aesthetics and society, giving rise to numerous expressions of approbationand rejection over the course of history. In 1909 the Futurists emerged on the Europeanart scene to the cry of “The whip or dynamite!”1 proclaiming that it was no longer possible to escapefrom scientific discoveries and the influence of the new means of transport, production, and communication that were transforming the world into an ever faster and better connected place. There was an urgent need to establish a new aesthetic-communicative system capable of capturing the unprecedentedly vibrant and frenetic rhythm of society. The early Italian avant- garde artists thus distanced themselves from late 19th-century cultural trends by proposing a specific plan of action that could stir up the conscience of their contemporaries against passéism (passatismo, nostalgia for the past) and passivity. In his desire to provoke reaction, the Futurists’ leader Filippo Tommaso Marinetti decided to publish his inaugural manifesto in the French Le Figaro, the most popular newspaper of the day. Through this initial public act, Marinetti aimed to disseminate his thinking on a global scale beyond the frontiers of Italy, choosing the quintessentially modern city of Paris from which to do so.

  • Futurism's Photography
    Futurism’s Photography: From fotodinamismo to fotomontaggio Sarah Carey University of California, Los Angeles The critical discourse on photography and Italian Futurism has proven to be very limited in its scope. Giovanni Lista, one of the few critics to adequately analyze the topic, has produced several works of note: Futurismo e fotografia (1979), I futuristi e la fotografia (1985), Cinema e foto- grafia futurista (2001), Futurism & Photography (2001), and most recently Il futurismo nella fotografia (2009).1 What is striking about these titles, however, is that only one actually refers to “Futurist photography” — or “fotografia futurista.” In fact, given the other (though few) scholarly studies of Futurism and photography, there seems to have been some hesitancy to qualify it as such (with some exceptions).2 So, why has there been this sense of distacco? And why only now might we only really be able to conceive of it as its own genre? This unusual trend in scholarly discourse, it seems, mimics closely Futurism’s own rocky relationship with photography, which ranged from an initial outright distrust to a later, rather cautious acceptance that only came about on account of one critical stipulation: that Futurist photography was neither an art nor a formal and autonomous aesthetic category — it was, instead, an ideological weapon. The Futurists were only able to utilize photography towards this end, and only with the further qualification that only certain photographic forms would be acceptable for this purpose: the portrait and photo-montage. It is, in fact, the very legacy of Futurism’s appropriation of these sub-genres that allows us to begin to think critically about Futurist photography per se.

  • Il Futurismo
    Il futurismo Filippo Tommaso Marinetti Filippo Tommaso Marinetti nasce ad Alessandria d’Egitto il 22 dicembre 1876 da Enrico, avvocato civilista, e da Amalia Grolli. Compie gran parte degli studi a Parigi, dove si afferma inizialmente come poeta francese, per poi laurearsi in legge a Genova nel 1899. Dividendo la sua attività tra Parigi e Milano, nel 1905 fonda nella città lombarda la rivista internazionale «Poesia», sulla quale pubblicano molti poeti d’avanguardia e dove appare l’Inchiesta internazionale sul verso libero. Nel 1909 redige il Manifesto del futurismo, apparso su «Le Figaro» il 20 febbraio, che segna la nascita del movimento. Nello stesso anno appare anche Uccidiamo il Chiaro di Luna!, a cui seguono molti altri manifesti. Attivo organizzatore di serate futuriste, elaboratore di manifesti, Marinetti pubblica nel 1910 in francese e in italiano il romanzo Mafarka il futurista, nel 1912 Battaglia Peso + Odore e nel 1914 il poema parolibero Zang Tumb Tumb. Accesso interventista – nel 1915 esce Guerra sola igiene del mondo –, combatte nella Prima guerra mondiale, per poi sposare la politica mussoliniana. Nel 1919 esce il “romanzo esplosivo” 8 Anime in una bomba. Nel 1925 si trasferisce a Roma, mentre nel 1929 viene nominato accademico d’Italia. Muore a Bellagio, sul lago di Como, il 2 dicembre 1944. Corrado Govoni Corrado Govoni nasce a Tamara, presso Ferrara, il 29 ottobre 1884 da Carlo e Maria Albonetti. A Ferrara lavora come archivista presso il comune, per poi trasferirsi a Roma, dove dal 1928 al 1943 è segretario del Sindacato nazionale autori e scrittori e, nel dopoguerra, impiegato al ministero della Pubblica Istruzione.

  • Music, Noise, and Abstraction
    BYVASIL y KAND INSKY' s OWN AC co u NT, his proto-abstract canvas ImpressionIII (Konzert) (19n; plate 13) was directly inspired by a performance of Arnold Schoenberg's first atonal works (the Second String Quartet, op. ro, and the Three Piano Pieces, op. n) at a concert in Munich on January 2, r9n, attended by Kandinsky and his Blaue Reiter compatriots (plate 6). The correspondence that Kandinsky launched with Schoenberg in the days following the concert makes it clear that both the painter and the composer saw direct parallels between the abandonment of tonality in music and the liberation from representation in visual art. 1 That both construed these artistic breakthroughs in spiritual terms is equally clear. Responding to the crisis of value prompted by scientific mate­ rialism, Kandinsky and Schoenberg affirmed an inner, spiritual realm that promised "ascent to a higher and better order," as Schoenberg would later put it. 2 Kandinsky looked to music, "the least material of the arts," as a means to "turn away from the soulless content of modern life, toward materials and environments that give a free hand to the nonmaterial strivings and searchings of the thirsty soul." "Schoenberg's music," he insisted, "leads us into a new realm, where musical experiences are no longer acoustic, but purely spiritua/."3 But what constitutes the "abstraction" of music in general and of atonal music in particular? And might this well-worn story obscure alternative conceptions of "abstraction" and other relationships between music and art in European modernism? Contrary to the self-presentations of Schoenberg and Kandinsky, there is nothing fundamental about the analogy between abstraction and atonality ­ which is why Paul Klee, Frantisek Kupka, Marsden Hartley, and many other early abstract painters could find inspiration in the eighteenth-century polyphony that consolidated the tonal system in the first place.

  • (No) Queer Futurism: Prostitutes, Pink Poets, and Politics in Italy from 1913-1918
    (No) Queer Futurism: Prostitutes, Pink Poets, and Politics in Italy from 1913-1918 Emma Van Ness University of California, Los Angeles A Queer Futurism? This study intended to examine Futurist representations of historical prostitution within their urban environments of Paris, Milan, and Florence. It quickly became evident, however, that Futurists were by and large unconcerned with the material concerns of the prostitutes themselves, but very interested in what prostitutes could signify in an artistic and social context, building on the contributions of artists such as Baudelaire and Manet. These Parisians were among those who thrust the prostitute into the central discourse of literature and art in the nineteenth-century and in doing so signaled an important shift towards modernity. Half a century later, in Florence, while Dino Campana sings to the chimerical musica fanciulla esangue in his Canti orfici, Italo Tavolato, a homosexual journalist and critic from Trieste, speaks explicitly of prostitutes as inspirational figures, truly moral in their honest immorality. It was only through his rhetorical exaltation of prostitution that Tavolato could express his desire for an alternative to hetero-normative sexualities. His larger program against sexual morality is an important contribution in the early “deconstructive” phase of Futurism, one which mirrors what Claudia Salaris calls a “theory of androgyny,”1 associated at the time with writers such as Otto Weininger, Valentine de Saint-Point, and Marinetti himself, who was initially referred to by many as the “pink poet” because of “his ‘American’ methods, scandalizing and self- promoting.”2 Like Marinetti’s own fictional Futurist father, Marfarka, who gives birth to Garzurmah, the man-machine hybrid, Marinetti’s birthing of the movement was aided by his assumption of a hybrid personality.

    Federico Luisetti, “A Futurist Art of the Past”, AmeriQuests 12.1 (2015) A Futurist Art of the Past: Anton Giulio Bragaglia’s Photodynamism Anton Giulio Bragaglia, Un gesto del capo1 Un gesto del capo (A gesture of the head) is a rare 1911 “Photodynamic” picture by Anton Giulio Bragaglia (1890-1960), the Rome-based photographer, director of experimental films, gallerist, theater director, and essayist who played a key role in the development of the Italian Avant- gardes. Initially postcard photographs mailed out to friends, Futurist Photodynamics consist of twenty or so medium size pictures of small gestures (greeting, nodding, bowing), acts of leisure, work, or movements (typing, smoking, a slap in the face), a small corpus that preceded and influenced the experimentations of European Avant-garde photography, such as Christian Schad’s Schadographs, Man Ray’s Rayographs, and Lazlo Moholy-Nagy’s Photograms. Thanks to historians of photography, in particular Giovanni Lista and Marta Braun, we are familiar with the circumstances that led to the birth of Photodynamism, which took on and transformed the principles proclaimed in the April 11, 1910 Manifesto tecnico della pittura futurista (Technical Manifesto of Futurist Painting) by Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carrà, Luigi Russolo, Giacomo Balla, and Gino Severini, where the primacy of movement and the nature of “dynamic sensation” challenge the conventions of traditional visual arts: “The gesture which we would reproduce on canvas shall no longer be a fixed moment in universal dynamism.
