Czarne i czerwone. Masy ludzkie w poezji polskiego futuryzmu
Black and red: Human masses in the poetry of Polish futurism

Summary/Abstract: The article shows how the political engagement of Polish futurism influenced its poetic representations of crowds. Futurists showed masses as a reservoir of energy strong enough not only to destroy the old regime but also to create a framework for the new order. They described the masses by employing elements of different discourses – conservative, communist and military. These heterogenic representations were bound together by the apotheosis of the revolution against the normative order of modernity (and capitalism).
