Excellent- More about Fictions of Arthur Cravan: Poetry, Boxing and Revolution
Arthur Cravan is a proto-Dada and Surrealist exemplar, but this study recovers him from historical interstices and drifting untruths, focusing on subjectivity, metaphor, representation, and multiplicity. It concludes with his casting off into a Surrealist legacy and his becoming a means to represent the world.
Format: Hardback
Length: 336 pages
Publication date: 30 January 2019
Publisher: Manchester University Press
Arthur Cravan, the legendary poet and boxer, is often hailed as a proto-Dada and Surrealist exemplar, yet his significance remains elusive. He has not been seen since 1918, lost in the historical gaps, shrouded in untruths. This study aims to reclaim his presence by exploring philosophical positions, ranging from nineteenth-century Nietzsche to twentieth-century Deleuze. It delves into concepts of subjectivity, metaphor, representation, and multiplicity. Through fresh readings and innovative approaches, the book uncovers the enigmatic nature of Cravan's first published work, his contributions to the Paris review Maintenant, and his haunting portrayal in Picabia's elegiac film Entracte. The fictions of Arthur Cravan ultimately lead to his casting off into a Surrealist legacy, symbolizing his transformation into a means of representing the world.
