BOOK REVIEW: MANIFESTAZIONI. I MANIFESTI AVANGUARDISTI TRA PERFORMANCE E PERFORMATIVITÀ

Summary/Abstract: ManifestAzioni. I manifesti avanguardisti tra performance e performatività, edited by Alessandro Catalano, Massimo Maurizio e Roberto Merlo, Milano-Udine: Mimesis, 2014, reevaluates, from a comparativist and pragmatic perspective, the avant-garde literary manifesto in terms of theatrality (performance) and its actional rhetoric (performatività). Out of ten chapters, representing communications delivered on the occasion of the homonymous conference organized on the 2nd and 3rd of March, 2012, by the University of Turin, two are Romanian, signed by Rodica Ilie (“Transilvania” University of Braşov) and by Emilia Parpală (University of Craiova). The volume opens with the pluriperspectival definition of the manifesto and continues with its exemplification in six cultural areas: Latin America (Anna Bocuti), England (Rebecca Beasley), Czech Republic (Alessandro Catalano), France (Eleonora di Mauro), Italy (Barbara Zandrino), Poland (Alessandro Ajres), Romania (Emilia Parpală) and Russia (Sergej Birjukov, Nadia Caprioglio). These contexts define the differences as well as the identity of the manifesto, a species which is characteristic of historical avant-garde.
