Yet he remains an insubstantial phenomenon, not seen since 1918, lost through historical interstices, clouded in drifting untruths. This study processes philosophical positions into a practical recovery -- from nineteenth-century Nietzsche to twentieth-century Deleuze -- with thoughts on subjectivity, metaphor, representation and multiplicity. From fresh readings and new approaches -- of Cravan's first published work as a manifesto of simulation; of contributors to his Paris review Maintenant as impostures for the Delaunays; and of the conjuring of Cravan in Picabia's elegiac film Entr'acte -- The fictions of Arthur Cravan concludes with the absent poet-boxer's eventual casting off into a Surrealist legacy, and his becoming what metaphor is: a means to represent the world.DadaismSurrealismElectronic books.
