Mina Loy's critical modernism / Laura Scuriatti. - 1 online resource
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction -- Loy's dialogue with Lacerba and Italian feminism -- The objects of poetry and the economics of art -- Mina Loy's dialogic and "narratable" selves: art as collaboration -- Eccentricity, affiliation, and distance in Loy's corpus -- Conclusion.
This volume argues that Loy's corpus of works produces a kind of "critical" modernism: the author makes the case that Loy's corpus exhibits a skeptical, detached attitude towards its own simultaneous celebration and criticism of modernist aesthetic paradigms. The author provides a new, in-depth investigation of specific aspects of the Florentine and Italian context in particular, which have so far been neglected by scholarship. The volume presents new insights into Loy's feminism and argues that her texts respond to the rewriting of Otto Weininger's then widely influential theories in the magazine Lacerba. It shows that Loy's texts present dialogic, "narratable", "eccentric" selves and subjectivities, which create uncomfortable critical spaces within modernism as a broad movement
