However, prior to the futurist break, a group of early-twentieth-century poets, later dubbed crepuscolari (crepusculars), had already begun an attack against the dominant cultural system, using their poetry as the locus in which useless little objects clashed with the traditional poetry of human greatness and stylistic perfection. The Quiet Avant-Garde draws from a number of twenty-first-century theories--vital materialism, object-oriented ontology, and environmental humanities--as well as Bruno Latour's criticism of modernity to illustrate how the crepuscular movement sabotaged the modern mindset and launched the counter-discourse of the Italian avant-garde by blurring the line dividing people from "things." This liminal poetics, at the crossroad of tradition, modernism, and the avant-garde, acted as the initiator of the ethical and environmental transition from a universe subjected to humans to human-thing co-agency. This book proposes a contemporary reading of Italian twentieth-century movements and offers a foothold for scholars outside Italian studies to access authors who are still unexplored in North American literature."--$cProvided by publisher 606 $aItalian poetry$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAvant-garde (Aesthetics)$zItaly$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aItaly$2fast 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 610 $aItalian. 610 $aavant-garde. 610 $acrepuscularism. 610 $afuturism. 610 $agender. 610 $ahumanism. 610 $amodernism. 610 $anature. 610 $anonhuman agency. 610 $apoetics of the object. 610 $apoetry. 610 $asubject-object dualism. 615 0$aItalian poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAvant-garde (Aesthetics)$xHistory 676 $a851/.9109 686 $acci1icc$2lacc 686 $acoll13$2lacc 700 $aCannamela$b Danila, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01511672 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793597703321 996 $aThe Quiet Avant?Garde$93745119 997 $aUNINA
