Ironiser l’écriture programmatique. Le manifeste dadaïste
Satirizing the programmatic writing. The Dadaist manifesto

Summary/Abstract: The present article tries to define the inherent philosophy of the creation of Dadaism in the field of programmatic writing manifested through the form of literary manifesto, a production which elaborates itself paradoxically, just at the level of the spontaneity (‘s mimicry), of the ludic-poetical practice. Its mechanisms self-contain both a natural legitimation which organically belongs to the foundation of some literary-artistic schools (like Dadaism and Constructivism, in European Avant-garde and Cannibalism or Cultural Antropophagy in Brasylian Modernism), and a de-legitimizing phase, that gets justified itself through the cynico-kynical reason about which Peter Sloterdijk speaks (1983). Important for both the Avant-garde’s poetic as for the history and evolution of the Art in general, the dada manifesto became, at the beginning of the 20th Century, a form of reevaluating the artistic codes, a manner of putting under discussion the Creator and the Receiver as well, a productive strategy of irony and humor, of absurd and contradiction poetry of innovating the aesthetic languages.
