The Spatiality of the Hispanic Avant-Ultraísmo & Estridentismo, 1918-1927 is a thorough and original exploration of place and space in the work of the Hispanic vanguards; a transatlantic study that will surely join international discussions on space and modernism.

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. Joining important studies on Spatiality, Palomares-Salas convincingly argues that an unsolvable tension between place and space is at the core of the Hispanic avant-garde cultural production. 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.

Claudio Palomares Salas, PhD (University of Toronto, 2013) is Assistant Professor of Hispanic Studies at Queen’s University, Canada.
