A Planetary Avant-Garde delves into the captivating exploration of how experimental poetics and literature networks have responded aesthetically and politically to the enduring legacy of Iberian colonialism across the globe. This profound book examines avant-garde reactions to Spanish and Portuguese imperialism in Europe, Latin America, West Africa, and Southeast Asia, spanning from 1909 to 1929. Ignacio Infante, in his meticulous analysis, meticulously traces the hegemony and resistance to the colonial regimes of Spain and Portugal within specific avant-garde networks, thereby expanding our understanding of Western colonial and imperial ideologies during the early twentieth century. The book ambitiously extends the geopolitical dimensions of the historical avant-garde into a broader transnational and planetary framework, encompassing diverse experiences of modernity, innovative forms of experimental poetics, and profound interpretations of history. It sheds light on captivating topics such as the intricate relationship between Portuguese futurism and European colonialism in West Africa, the critical critiques of European historicism by Latin American avant-gardes, the emergence of Brazilian modernism in dialogue with the European avant-garde, the comparative poetics of modernism in the Philippines, and the remarkable 1929 Barcelona Worlds Fair. A Planetary Avant-Garde is firmly rooted in extensive archival research, offering a fresh and multidimensional perspective on the historical avant-garde, transcending linguistic and geographical boundaries.
