In the present volume, this crucial aspect of modernism’s legacy is investigated from an authentically transnational perspective, taking an innovative stance on a diverse range of authors – from posthumanist classics such as Beckett and Woolf to Valentine de Saint-Point, Radoje Domanovic and Aldo Palazzeschi among others.   On the one hand, this collection sheds new light on the modernist contribution to posthumanism, providing a valuable reference point for future studies on the topic. On the other, it offers a new take on the transnational dimension of modernism, highlighting unexplored convergences between modernist authors from several different national contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures   Notes on Contributors   Introduction    Alberto Godioli and Carmen van den Bergh    Part 1  Modernism and the Nonhuman  1 Prefiguring Modernist Posthumanism: Baudelaire, Rimbaud and the Objectification of the Lyric Self    Alessandro Cabiati    2 Becoming-Digit: Valentine de Saint-Point’s Posthumanist Futurism    Pavlina Radia    3 Politics of Identity: Giuseppe Ungaretti’s Poetry of the Great War Between Nomadic Subjectivity and Performative Realism    Enrica Maria Ferrara    4 Variations On “Maquinismo”: Looking Beyond the Human in Ramón Gómez de la Serna’s Writings     ngela Fernandes    5 The Tender Being of Something Else: Geography and Lists in Gertrude Stein’s Ida    Laura Oulanne    6 Samuel Beckett and Modernist Vitalism    Marc Farrant    Part 2  Modernist Animals  7 Rumination of a Serbian Ox: Radoje Domanovic’s Satire of Anthropocentric Folly    Vedran Catovic    8 “Come se”: Transcending the Human-Animal Divide in Pirandello’s Short Stories    Santi Luca Famà    9 Modernist Exiles: the Berlin Years of Viktor Shklovsky, Aleksei Remizov, and the Masturbating Ape    Asiya Bulatova    10 “Brandishing Her Plumes”: Virginia Woolf, Feather Tropes, and the Plumage (Prohibition) Bill    Saskia McCracken    11 Posthumanism avant la lettre: Robert Musil’s The Man without Qualities and the Boundaries of Humankind    Florian Kappeler    12 Animals and Logos in Samuel Beckett’s Molloy, Malone Dies, and The Unnamable    Laura Lainväe    13 Towards an Interpretation of a Modernist Bestiary in Color: Palazzeschi’s Bestie Del 900 and Maccari’s Illustrations    Sarah Bonciarelli    Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210870251863,"sku":"9789004549678","price":95.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/modernism-beyond-the-human-transnational-perspectives-9789004549678","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
