Anti-futurism of the Young Estonia Literary Movement
Anti-futurism of the Young Estonia Literary Movement

Summary/Abstract: First of all I would like to point out that the notion of futurism (or, to be precise, anti-futurism) in the title does not refer to the determined cultural phenomenon as such, which emerged in Italy and Russia before World War I, but instead to some of its characteristic aspects. These include its orientation towards the future and an essential connection with contemporary urban culture, industry and technology. In art and literature, as well as in the activity of futurists, futurism occasionally acquired rather weird forms, which attracted attention and rebuffed, and thus the harmonious relationship between high culture and technology has often been neglected.
