The first part of Volume 14 of the Yearbook presents ten essays concerned with Futurism in Italy, Russia, Ukraine, Czechoslovakia, Romania and Germany, and two focusing on dance and typography. Among other things, this publication provides analysis of the futurist manifestos from late 1910 and 1911 and Velimir Khlebnikov’s futurist essays, as well as the networks of Futurism in Odessa. In the second part, a section on Caricatures and Satires of Futurism in the Contemporary Press examines five humorous images from five countries, in which the movement and its leader were lampooned. This section is followed by nine reviews of recent exhibitions, conferences and publications, and an annual bibliography with details of 128 new books on Futurism.

Exploring the Invisible
This sumptuous and stunningly illustrated book shows through words and images how directly, profoundly, and indisputably modern science has transformed modern art. Beginning in the mid-nineteenth century, a strange and exciting new world came into focus--a world of microorganisms in myriad shapes and colors, prehistoric fossils, bizarre undersea creatures, spectrums of light and sound, molecules of water, and atomic particles. Exploring the Invisible reveals that the world beyond the naked eye--made visible by advances in science--has been a major inspiration for artists ever since, influencing the subjects they choose as well as their techniques and modes of representation. Lynn Gamwell tra...

Providing the most complete record possible of texts by Italian writers active after 1900, this annotated bibliography covers over 4,800 distinct editions of writings by some 1,700 Italian authors. Many entries are accompanied by useful notes that provide information on the authors, works, translators, and the reception of the translations. This book includes the works of Pirandello, Calvino, Eco, and more recently, Andrea Camilleri and Valerio Manfredi. Together with Robin Healey's Italian Literature before 1900 in English Translation, also published by University of Toronto Press in 2011, this volume makes comprehensive information on translations from Italian accessible for schools, libraries, and those interested in comparative literature.
Exhibiting Italian Art in the United States from Futurism to Arte Povera
This volume explores how Italian institutions, dealers, critics, and artists constructed a modern national identity for Italy by exporting – literally and figuratively – contemporary art to the United States in key moments between 1929 and 1969. From artist Fortunato Depero opening his Futurist House in New York City to critic Germano Celant launching Arte Povera in the United States, Raffaele Bedarida examines the thick web of individuals and cultural environments beyond the two more canonical movements that shaped this project. By interrogating standard narratives of Italian Fascist propaganda on the one hand and American Cold War imperialism on the other, this book establishes a more ...
The Artist as Inventor
Today the media arts not only address the great themes of our times, they inhabit the very media of which they speak. The contemporary is global, but only because of the media that enable globalisation. Those media are almost nowhere apparent in the mainstream practice of art that we see in biennials from Venice to Sao Paolo. The media arts reflect back to us our present condition, and in the archive present us with the ghosts of what we were, and what we failed to become. This book brings the reader into the centre of these strange encounters, introducing us to the rich legacies and futures of the most important arts of the last hundred years. It also looks ahead to the future and asks what happens to the condition of being human within the new constellation into which we are entering?
Handbook of International Futurism
The Handbook of International Futurism is the first reference work ever to presents in a comparative fashion all media and countries in which the movement, initiated by F.T. Marinetti in 1909, exercised a particularly noteworthy influence. The handbook offers a synthesis of the state of scholarship regarding the international radiation of Futurism and its influence in some fifteen artistic disciplines and thirty-eight countries. While acknowledging the great achievements of the movement in the visual and literary arts of Italy and Russia, it treats Futurism as an international, multidisciplinary phenomenon that left a lasting mark on the manifold artistic manifestations of the early twentiet...

Primo dizionario aereo italiano
Nel 1929 i futuristi Filippo Tommaso Marinetti e Fedele Azari crearono il “Primo dizionario aereo italiano”. L’anno della prima pubblicazione e la personalità degli autori non facciano però pensare a un testo datato e nostalgico. Tutt’altro: si tratta infatti di un’opera ricca di curiosità e interessante non solo per l’accuratezza e la varietà dei termini aeronautici riportati, ma anche da un punto di vista linguistico. Lo sforzo di “italianità” che si prefiggono gli autori è di grande attualità in un’epoca in cui pigramente si usano parole straniere al posto di altrettanti, correttissimi vocaboli italiani.E così, tra termini quasi sconosciuti come ortottero o ciclo...
L'ultimo uomo sulla Luna
La più grande avventura del secolo scorso: la folle, intensa e appassionante corsa alla conquista dello spazio e della Luna, il mondo a noi più vicino ma anche incredibilmente lontano, orbitando a oltre 380.000 km dalla Terra. Chi meglio del comandante della missione che ha portato gli ultimi uomini sul nostro satellite naturale può raccontare gli eventi straordinari culminati nei moduli che sono discesi sul suolo lunare e nei rover che ne hanno percorso la superficie? Eugene Cernan, assieme al giornalista Don Davis, narra con stile discorsivo e linguaggio privo di inutili complessità la vera storia della corsa allo spazio degli Stati Uniti. Una competizione che doveva essere vinta ad og...
