Description
Summary:Focusing on futurism and vorticism, this article investigates the relationship between the literary genre of the manifesto—a genre that the futurist and vorticist avant-gardes not only made a large use of but even contributed developing as a literary genre—and issues of gender. What discourse on gender issues (and especially on women and the “feminine”) can be found in such manifestoes, mainly written by men in movements largely dominated by men? Is there a specificity to the literary genre of the manifesto when it is written by a woman such as Valentine de Saint Point? And finally how can one explain and understand the relations and the proximity that can be traced between these largely masculinist literary manifestoes and the suffragettes’ manifestoes?
