A transatlantic modernist poetry: Blaise Cendrars’s Feuilles de route
Type de matériel :
TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2018.
Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Cendrars discovered Brazil in 1924 and related this visit in a collection of poems: Feuilles de route. He paints Brazil as a tropical and sensual, multiracial and colorful country, blending nature and dizzying human activity. Futurism, simultaneism, and the praise of a melting pot (a metaphor for his artistic work) find an adequate medium of expression there. We study Feuilles de route as a transatlantic gaze directed at a “second spiritual homeland” and as the realization of modernist aspirations, distinguishing modernism as a form, which Cendrars brings with him to Brazil, and as a renewal of inspiration (found in Brazil), which would then be translated into prose. Cendrars thus became more modern than modernist.
