Fol- lowing Abastado, Berg accordingly studies manifesto texts that do not bear the name in their titles or never mention it in the body of the texts and sometimes even appear under a different name.

This greatly enlarges the category. His classification includes, apart from the declaration, the On the other hand, Berg shows the difficulty of distinguishing the mani- festo from related discourses. He maintains that anthologies of the avant- garde that claim to be devoted to the manifesto seem to bring in other genres as well ibid.: No study, he argues, singles out the manifesto and tries to give it an orderly definition or meaning.

The manifesto, then, relates to a variety of families: But it seems to be most closely akin to programmatic texts in times of crisis or change. These characteristics are taken up by other scholars who see the mani- festo as belonging to the family of polemical discourse and emphasize its violent nature. As Jeanne Demers Earlier, the manifesto was mentioned in a special issue on pamphletary discourse.

There Marc Angenot There the manifesto is considered as a variant of polemical dis- course, since it asserts and defends a thesis and invites the reader to take a stance. It is also short, as required by the wider discourse type, and shares the same characteristics of calling the reader to active participation: This type of dis- course bears a performative aspect, which represents both a risk and an obligation for those who sign it.

All this makes the manifesto a functional discourse close to the pamphlet, the polemic, and the satire. Dumasy and Massol What these types of discourse have in common is the feature that they are all textual strategies expressing social and political changes and mutations. All three seem to be forms of post—French Revolution modernity. Manifestos are therefore akin to programmatic and prescriptive dis- course.

To some scholars, literary manifesto communicates the principles or doctrine of an aesthetic or literary movement to a more or less wide public Schultz Lastly, the manifesto may be viewed as a programmatic discourse of power because it aspires to change reality with words; the manifesto is a discourse where knowledge is asserted rather than developed because used by the person who utters it as a revolutionary tool representing his or her dis- Demers attempts to distinguish manifesto from ars poetica. But the manifesto still needs the system and relies upon it and is therefore quickly recuperated by it.

The evolutionary con- ception of knowledge that characterizes the prefaces gives place to a. From Form to Function As I mentioned earlier, to be a manifesto a text need not be dubbed as such as long as it looks and behaves like one. For instance, both Marjorie Perloff and Lawton agree that Filippo Tommaso Marinetti considered the manifesto to be a new literary genre with a definite structure and style Lawton According to Perloff This considerably multiplies the number of corpora and case studies available to researchers: Maria Drudi Gambillo and Teresa Fiori, vol.

De Luca, ]; and quoted in Perloff Instead of figuring out whether a manifesto belongs to liter- ary or poetic discourse or not, scholars identify the roles ascribed to the manifesto by the writers themselves. Scholars like Demers and Line Mc Murray Whether concerning the literary or the political kind, the force and the theatricality of the manifesto are singled out by all researchers. Manifestos are violent acts, spectacular acts, a way to sound your voice, whether the act is artistic like blaspheming or political like kidnapping a plane or a person or suicide, though Abastado [a: The only uniform convention among manifestos, maintains Lyon The manifesto has a particular performativity: The con- nection between theatricality and manifesto, claims Puchner ibid.: This kind of theatricality is operative, claims Puchner, even in the most classical and most political specimen, the Communist Manifesto.

It turns into a kind of dramatic dialogue halfway through, when Marx begins to engage other thinkers and does so by giving voice, in the form of direct speech, to their arguments before switching back to his own voice in responding to these hypothetical objections. The drama of history is thus mirrored in the dialogic structure of the Communist Manifesto, and dialectics rejoins its origin in the dramatic dialogues of Plato ibid.: So far, we have followed the development of manifesto study from a generic perspective.

We now move to a survey of the development of the definition of manifesto, which shows the impossibility of reconstructing an evolution of the genre. In the following sections, I will try to show how the literary manifesto became entangled in the definition of its political and artistic counterparts.

I will start by indicating the political origins of the artistic and the literary manifestos. I will then show how the literary mani- festo has been received by literary criticism.

The fuzzy borders among these kinds are already visible in the first two special issues on the manifesto from the s. For Jean-Nicolas Illouz In examining the futurist one, Perloff The political manifestos affirm citizenship and identity. For instance, the Declaration of French Independence represents an affir- mation of the public sphere and the citizen, and that is precisely why it is viewed as a manifesto ibid.: Manifesto becomes, according to Lyon It is, according to him, action oriented and time bound—with deadlines for carrying out the political actions required—as opposed to the aesthetic manifesto, which is value oriented and can transcend time Meyer He bases this opposition on Lefebvre But unlike Meyer, she views the artistic manifesto as grounded in a certain context: That of the artistic manifesto, whose work will be carried on in another world altogether.

Finally, he reserves a separate category for avant-garde manifestos e. He finds the main difference between politi- cal and literary manifestos, on the one hand, and avant-garde manifestos, on the other, in their intentionality: Scholars also differ on the role played by politics in manifestos.

For Somigli, the manifesto is only a small part of a process where literature becomes an independent field in bourgeois society: The artistic manifesto is sometimes perceived by researchers as the aes- theticizing of political aspirations. For example, Perloff The Futurist manifesto was a way of aestheticizing what had traditionally been a vehicle for political statement.

Lyon illustrates the aesthetization of the political in her analysis of feminist manifestos. She explains the gender rift by appealing to different relation- ships between the political and the aesthetic within manifestos written by women as opposed to men.

Like its artistic counterpart, the literary manifesto is viewed by critics as related to and influenced by the political. Thus, although an attempt was made to distinguish it as a genre of its own as early as ,18 the literary manifesto is nearly always studied in relation to the political. As I have Percy Wyndham Lewis — was a Canadian-born British painter and author. They examine how the postrevolutionary democratic context of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries materializes in these texts, whether literary or political ibid.: For Ronald Vroon The rhetoric of the symbolist manifestos thus reflects the political conditions of their time.
