The spatiality of the Hispanic avant garde : ultraísmo & estridentismo 1918 1927 The Spatiality of the Hispanic Avant Garde: Ultraísmo & Estridentismo 1918 1927 is a thorough exploration of the meanings and values Hispanic poets and artists assigned to four iconic locations of modernity: the city the cafés means of transportation and the sea during the first decades of the 20th century.

A refreshing transatlantic perspective on Ultraism and Stridentism the book moves the Hispanic vanguards forward into broader international discussions on space and modernism and offers innovative readings of well known as well as rarely studied works
