Label Mina Loy's critical modernism, Laura Scuriatti Instantiates It shows that Loy's texts present dialogic, 'narratable', 'eccentric' selves and subjectivities, which create uncomfortable critical spaces within modernism as a broad movement Cataloging source NhCcYBP 1970- Scuriatti, Laura Dewey number 811/.52 Index index present LC call number PS3523.O975 LC item number Z88 2019 Literary form non fiction Nature of contents 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. 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.

Language eng Summary 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. Modernism (Literature) - United States.Loy, Mina - Criticism and interpretation.

American poetry - Women authors | History and criticism.Given that the term 'feminism' is now applied to a multitude of contradictory theoretical and socio-political positions, a special effort will also be made to define Loy's own peculiar brand of feminist thought, and to identify the nature of its influence upon her creative praxis.Label Mina Loy's critical modernism Title Mina Loy's critical modernism Statement of responsibility Laura Scuriatti Creator Finally, I consider the metonymical aspect of the Songs, making particular reference to the ways in which they problematize the concept of the 'sign'. I then propose a 'vertical' approach to the Songs, in which theories of lexical semantics play a pivotal role. In support of this, I read Songs 'horizontally', drawing attention to the narrative and generic aspects of the poems as they unfold in time, and in succession. Drawing on the linguistic theory of Ferdinand de Saussure, I argue that Songs to Joannes-as both a long poem composed of various fragments, and a self-standing unit-might be placed in the position of the 'sign'. In the systematic tension between form and content, then, I illuminate the ways in which Loy's poetry redefines the familiar concept of the 'body of the text' through a re-evaluation of two acts of reading: a 'horizontal' reading and a 'vertical' one. Through a close analysis of the typographical complexities by which Songs to Joannes is characterized, I attempt to draw explicit connections between Loy's radical approach to physical existence and sexual activity in the poems, and her equally radical departure from the conventions of poetic form. Abstract This essay advances a close reading of Mina Loy's Songs to Joannes, a sequence of poems dedicated to her failed relationship with the futurist Giovanni Papini and published in 1917.
