TAK Found Again! A First Reading of the Polish Futurists’ First Pamphlet

Author(s): Beata Śniecikowska
Subject(s): Studies of Literature
Published by: Instytut Badań Literackich Polskiej Akademii Nauk
Keywords: futurism; avant-garde; print pamphlet; manifesto; symbolism; expressionism

Summary/Abstract: Śniecikowska presents the pamphlet Tak – the Polish futurists’ first publication, which was recovered in 2018 – from a literary historical and literary theoretical point of view. The lost publication gave rise to a legend that circulated in avant-garde circles and among later literary scholars. Śniecikowska juxtaposes this legend with the text’s actual poetics. She also examines the relationship between the visual and the sonic dimension of the composition. Tak is also read in various intertextual arrangements, for instance in relation to the stylistics and semantics of symbolism and expressionism, the Italian futurists’ manifestos, as well as religious texts. She concludes by discussing the genre of Tak.
