Provocative cultural readings of avantgarde literature and art.Winner of the American Comparative Literature Association's Rene Wellek Prize (2004)As one of the founding poets and editors of the Language School of poetry and one of its central theorists, Barrett Watten has consistently challenged the boundaries of literature and art. In The Constructivist Moment, he offers a series of theoretically informed and textually sensitive readings that advance a revisionist account of the avantgarde through the methodologies of cultural studies. His major topics include American modernist and postmodern poetics, Soviet constructivist and postSoviet literature and art, Fordism and Detroit technoeach proposed as exemplary of the social construction of aesthetic and cultural forms. His book is a fullscale attempt to place the linguistic turn of critical theory and the selfreflexive foregrounding of language by the avantgarde since the Russian Formalists in relation to the cultural politics of postcolonial studies, feminism, and race theory. As such, it will provide a crucial revisionist perspective within modernist and avantgarde studies.
