Book Synopsis Arthur Cravan: Maintenant? by : Emmanuel Guigon
Download or read book Arthur Cravan: Maintenant? written by Emmanuel Guigon and published by Silvana Editoriale. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Adventurer as well as poet and boxer, Fabian Avenarius Lloyd (1887-1918) – a towering ‘mystic Colossus’ – assumed the pseudonym Arthur Cravan on arriving in Paris in 1909. He was a highly enigmatic man, a uniquely colourful character whose life merged into his work, and whose birth and death remain as obscure as his livelihood. Cravan, nephew of Oscar Wilde, achieved fame through the non-conformist magazine Maintenant, of which he was director, editor and sole contributor. Given his mysterious background, his behaviour and his sense of provocation, Cravan is clearly entitled to a place among the key precursors of Dadaism. Surely the least of Cravan’s feats included entering the ring against world heavyweight champion Jack Johnson, selling his poetry in the streets of Paris like a barrow-boy hawking fruit and vegetables, and on numerous occasions giving active voice to his views under the imperious and imperative title : MAINTENANT."--Page 4 de la couverture.
Book Synopsis Works of Arthur Cravan by : A. G. O'meara
Download or read book Works of Arthur Cravan written by A. G. O'meara and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The man sometimes known as Arthur Cravan made a reputation for himself partly through violent theatrics. He shot a gun over the heads of his audience, he threw a boxing match in order to gain funds to traverse the ocean to New York City, and, finally, in an act of great negation, he got lost on a sail boat in the gulf of Mexico and never returned. A defiant proletarian, Cravan writes in such a way that spits in the face of his contemporary artists for their haughtiness and their old age, as well as for their lack of interest in danger and women. It's no wonder that the surrealists and the Situationists gravitated toward him.

Book Synopsis 4 Dada Suicides: Selected Texts by : Arthur Cravan
Download or read book 4 Dada Suicides: Selected Texts written by Arthur Cravan and published by Atlas Press (GB). This book was released on 1995 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vache, Jacques Atlas Anti-Classics This book collects together works by four 'writers' on the fringes of the Dada movement in 1920's Paris. All four took the nihilism of the movement to its ultimate conclusion, their works are remnants of lives lived to the limit and then cast aside with nonchalance and abandon. Yet, their writings - to which they attached so little importance - still exert a powerful allure and were a vital inspiration to the Dada movement.
Book Synopsis Cravan Mystery Man of the Twentieth Century by : Mike Richardson
Download or read book Cravan Mystery Man of the Twentieth Century written by Mike Richardson and published by Dark Horse Comics. This book was released on 2015-03-11 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a true story about the most interesting person you've never heard of: Arthur Cravan, major figure in pre-WWI cutting-edge art circles, was among the greatest mysterious figures of the Twentieth Century. A self-confessed thief, forger, and con-artist, he used a roster of assumed names and false identities. He was known, at various times, as a novelist, poet, painter, art critic, lecturer, publisher, and the lightweight boxing champion of France. Always a rebellious, restless spirit, this dedicated rule-breaker was a political radical whose friendship with Leon Trotsky earned him the surveillance of the U.S. government-even through his immigration to Mexico with his wife, the poet Mina Loy. In 1918, at the age of thirty-one, the fascinating physical giant vanished without a trace, and-despite several supposed sightings over the years-was never seen again. Is it possible that he became the mysterious, reclusive novelist B. Traven, who wrote The Treasure of the Sierra Madre?
Book Synopsis Last Stop Salina Cruz by : David Lalé
Download or read book Last Stop Salina Cruz written by David Lalé and published by Alma Books. This book was released on 2008-06 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fleeing from the tedium of his everyday life and the painful memory of a dying father, the narrator embarks on a long solitary journey retracing the footsteps of real-life malcontent and misanthrope par-excellence Arthur Cravan, the nephew of Oscar Wilde. As a lambasting critic, poet-boxer, and Dadaist anti-hero, Cravan wreaked havoc on himself and three continents during the course of a short and spectacular life, which led him across the world in an escalating frenzy of self-destruction. Along the way, our young protagonist encounters every species of grotesque human character blighting Europe, the U.S., and South America, until he reaches the shores of the desolate oil town of Salina Cruz, the site of Cravan’s mysterious disappearance. Only there does the true purpose of his journey become at last apparent.

Book Synopsis A Tale of Two Arthurs: Book 1 by : Nine Antico
Download or read book A Tale of Two Arthurs: Book 1 written by Nine Antico and published by Europe Comics. This book was released on 2020-06-17T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Tale of Two Arthurs is an impressionistic chronicle of two very different men: Jack Arthur Johnson, the black American boxer, and Arthur Cravan, the white French poet and provocateur. These two men fought an improbable boxing match in Barcelona in 1916 which acts as the pivot point of this double-portrait which is also a kind of mirror: for despite their differences they were both fiercely independent individuals who in their own ways defied the mores of their time with a mixture of bravado, intelligence, and brute strength. Accompanying both men on their journeys is a celebrity chimpanzee named Consul who serves as the uniting thread — as well as the unlikely narrator — of this adventurous and ambitious comic.
Book Synopsis How it was Done in Paris by : Leonid Livak
Download or read book How it was Done in Paris written by Leonid Livak and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here, reintroduced into literary circulation, is an ignored yet rich and original page in Russian literary history--the "unnoticed generation" of Russian writers who took up residence in France after the Bolshevik coup of 1917. Leonid Livak analyzes the position of these writers in the context of French modernist literature, examining the ways in which French literary life influenced émigré artistic identities and oeuvre. The book challenges commonly accepted notions of émigré isolation from French literature and culture and is instrumental in reaching a fuller understanding of the cultural mechanisms involved in the effort by an expatriate community to carry on a creative existence.
Download or read book Dada Culture written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How Dada is to break its cultural accommodation and containment today necessitates thinking the historical instances through revised application of critical and theoretical models. The volume Dada Culture: Critical Texts on the Avant-Garde moves precisely by this motive, bringing together writings which insist upon the continuity of the early twentieth-century moment now at the start of the twenty-first. Engaging the complex and contradictory nature of Dada strategies, instanced in the linguistic gaming and performativity of the movement’s initial formation, and subsequently isolating the specific from the general with essays focusing on Ball, Tzara, Serner, Hausmann, Dix, Heartfield, Schwitters, Baader, Cravan and the exemplary Duchamp, the political philosophy of the avant-garde is brought to bear upon our own contemporary struggle through critical theory to comprehend the cultural usefulness, relevance, validity and effective (or otherwise) oppositionality of Dada’s infamous anti-stance. The volume is presented in sections that progressively point towards the expanding complexity of the contemporary engagement with Dada, as what is often exhaustive historical data is forced to rethink, realign and reconfigure itself in response to the analytical rigour and exercise of later twentieth-century animal anarchic thought, the testing and cultural placement of thoughts upon the virtual, and the eventual implications for the once blissfully unproblematic idea of expression. From the opening, provocative proposition that historically Dada may have been the falsest of all false paths, the volume rounds to dispute such condemnation as demarcation continues not only of Dada’s embeddedness in western culture, but more precisely of the location of Dada culture. Ten critical essays – by Cornelius Partsch, John Wall, T. J. Demos, Anna Schaffner, Martin I. Gaughan, Curt Germundson, Stephen C. Foster, Dafydd Jones, Joel Freeman and David Cunningham – are supplemented by the critical bibliography prepared by Timothy Shipe, which documents the past decade of Dada scholarship, and in so doing provides a valuable resource for all those engaged in Dada studies today.
Book Synopsis Staging Modernist Lives by : Sasha Colby
Download or read book Staging Modernist Lives written by Sasha Colby and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2017-02-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three modernist women, H.D. (Hilda Doolittle, 1886-1961), Mina Loy (1882-1966), and Nancy Cunard (1896-1965), came to define the interwar avant-garde through their experimental writing and unconventional pursuits. In Staging Modernist Lives, Sasha Colby dramatizes these women’s lives and writing in three new plays that traverse the origins of modernism, Parisian literary circles, two world wars, the Spanish Civil War, and race and gender relations in the first half of the twentieth century. Leveraging each writer’s autobiographical materials, the plays explore the work of H.D., Loy, and Cunard as artists, publishers, and activists, their quests for self-definition amid political and historical upheaval, and their development as modernists among mentors, detractors, lovers, and friends including Bryher Ellerman, Ezra Pound, Sigmund Freud, Gertrude Stein, Arthur Cravan, D.H. Lawrence, and Pablo Neruda. Navigating the emerging field of research-creation, Staging Modernist Lives maps the critical terrain for dramatized literary inquiry. Bridging scholarship and creative practice, extant biographical drama and the possibilities of research-theatre, Staging Modernist Lives demonstrates how performance can deliver literary history to new audiences - and how research in turn reinvigorates itself through performance.
