Abstract

There are few artistic figures who embody the revolutionary spirit in terms of ideology and creative practice more than Joan Salvat-Papasseit (1894-1924). Raised in the poorhouse of the Barcelona docks, Salvat was to develop a political consciousness constructed on the twin pillars of libertarian communism and a radical national consciousness. The same dissidence is evinced creatively by his embracing of the innovative mode of the poetics of the Avant-garde. Over the past generation, however, the radicalism of this individual has been severely compromised by a critical assimilation intent on refining the rebellious instinct through positivist criteria. The present paper will attempt to free the writer from these restraints with reference to on Salvat’s speculation on female sexuality and other taboo subjects.
