"Italian 'Futurismo' in Catalonia: Reception and misunderstandings"
Lecture in Catalan.
The word 'futurisme' entered the world of Catalan literature five years before the publication of Marinetti's manifesto and this coincidence generated a series of misunderstandings. Later on, Catalan 'futurisme' had already done away with any conceptual ambiguity, it acquires a series of features that distance it from the Italian original and allow it to assimilate influences from other Avantgarde movements in the early 20th century.
