Plurilingualism and Avant-Gardes

by Franca Bruera (Volume Editor) Barbara Meazzi (Volume Editor) ©2011 Collections 536 p.

Summary

During the first decades of the 20th century, literary and artistic horizons expanded well beyond the geographical and cultural borders of Europe. Artists and writers in search of new forms of expression would give birth to different avant-garde movements conceived, among other things, as veritable laboratories of linguistic experimentation. Plurilingualism as an inexhaustible source of creation, dialectical movement and sounding board of the ontological crisis of language which claims, from 1913, "polyglottism", is one of the main characteristics of these avant-gardes. This work brings together contributions that deepen the question of plurilingualism in arts and letters, overflowing from the framework of babelization. Indeed, if in the Tower of Babel understanding was arduous and complex, in the space of plurilingualism the "Towers of Babel changed into bridges" (to take up Apollinaire's words, emblematic figure of this work) will give rise to a fertile confusion of languages and tongues.
