Ranging from the \u003ci\u003eCommunist Manifesto\u003c\/i\u003e to the manifestos of the 1960s and beyond, it highlights the varied alliances and rivalries between socialism and repeated waves of avant-garde art. Martin Puchner argues that the manifesto--what Marx called the \"poetry\" of the revolution--was the genre through which modern culture articulated its revolutionary ambitions and desires. When it intruded into the sphere of art, the manifesto created an art in its own image: shrill and aggressive, political and polemical. The result was \"manifesto art\"--combinations of manifesto and art that fundamentally transformed the artistic landscape of the twentieth century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Central to modern politics and art, the manifesto also measures the geography of modernity. The translations, editions, and adaptations of such texts as the \u003ci\u003eCommunist Manifesto\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eFuturist Manifesto\u003c\/i\u003e registered and advanced the spread of revolutionary modernity and of avant-garde movements across Europe and to the Americas. The rapid diffusion of these manifestos was made \"possible by networks--such as the successive socialist internationals and international avant-garde movements--that connected Santiago and Zurich, Moscow and New York, London and Mexico City. \u003ci\u003ePoetry of the Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e thus provides the point of departure for a truly global analysis of modernism and modernity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Puchner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/11\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Translation\/Transnation #15\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.1lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691122601","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45463097868425,"sku":"9780691122601","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_d244224a-c41a-46e7-9137-b655f93d787e.jpg?v=1774996598","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/poetry-of-the-revolution-marx-manifestos-and-the-avant-gardes-9780691122601","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
