The present volume focuses on the work of the Romanian Jewish poet and visual artist Isidore Isou (1925?2007) who founded the lettrist movement in the 1940's. The Jewish tradition played a critical part in the Western avant-garde as represented by lettrism. The links between lettrism and Judaism are substantial, yet they have been largely unexplored until now. The study investigates the works of a movement that explicitly emphasizes its vanguard position while relying on a medieval religious tradition as a source of radical textual techniques. It accounts for lettrism?s renunciation of mainstream traditions in favour of a subversive tradition, in this case Jewish mysticism. The religious inclination of lettrism also affects the notion of the avant-garde. The elements of the Jewish tradition in Isou?s theories and artistic production evoke a broader framework where religion and experimental art supplement each other. 410 0$aEuropa?isch-ju?dische Studien.$pBeitra?ge ;$vVolume 21. 606 $aMysticism$xJudaism$xHistory 606 $aMysticism$xJudaism$xPsychological aspects 615 0$aMysticism$xJudaism$xHistory. 615 0$aMysticism$xJudaism$xPsychological aspects. 676 $a709.040089924 700 $aSjo?berg$b Sami$01472756 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798085303321 996 $aThe Vanguard messiah$93685654 997 $aUNINA
