"From Symbolism to the Avant-gardes."
The course focuses on the major cultural components of the early twentieth century in the avant-garde area, already present at the end of the nineteenth century. In the literary and artistic field, we will start from 1873-1874 recalling the publications of those years by A. Rimbaud, Une Saison en Enfer, T. Corbière, Les Amours jaunes and Ch. Cros, Le Coffret de Santal, in conjunction with the birth of Impressionism (see Claude Monet Impression, soleil levant, 1872).
The events are determined on the one hand by the poetics of these poets at the base of Symbolism, on the other since they mark the need for overcoming. Cézanne will lead to Cubism, Rimbaud, Corbière and Cros to Surrealism. In frontal lectures, the so-called "Bertozzian funnel" will be analyzed, which takes into consideration the evolution of literary material, dividing the literature of the modern and contemporary period into three phases: the extension phase, the concentration phase and the infinite phase /infinitesimal.
