TY - JOUR TI - Futurism in Spanish Literature AB - At the beginning of the 20th century, a group of authors, poets and artists known as “Vanguardistas” (modernists) paved the way for modern movements in art and literature in Spain. Inspired by the Italian poet Filippo Tomasso Marinetti, the Futurism movement quickly showed its influence in Spain as well as other countries. It rose to prominence due to its original and dynamic perceptions as well as its appreciation of modernism. As the world is constantly changing, old traditions, lifestyles, outdated ideas as well as previous attitudes, perceptions, styles and movements in literature and art should be abandoned in favor of newer, more original and current ones. This point of view is especially clear in the works of Ramón Gómez de la Serna. Italian Futurism suggests that previous ideas, literary styles and lifestyles cannot have strong links with the present and it is a challenge that makes it difficult to open the doors for the future. Based on this idea and adding different points of view, the Spanish writers aimed at building an original Futurism with its roots in the past but focusing on the future. Spanish intellectuals protested the oppression and censorship of the ruling order in that period, benefiting from the innovative style and perceptions of Futurism in literature.
