Il processo e l’assoluzione di ‘Mafarka il Futurista’ documents the obscenity trial and acquittal of F. T. Marinetti over his Futurist novel Mafarka the Futurist. The volume collects the proceedings and defense surrounding the case, a notable episode in which the founder of Futurism confronted the law over the provocations of his avant-garde fiction.
Please note that this work is in Italian. As a record of one of the legal controversies that attended the early Futurist movement, it is of interest to students of modernism, the avant-garde, and the politics of artistic scandal. This free EPUB download is cleanly formatted for any e-reader.
