In wide-ranging essays based on fresh research, the contributors to this collection examine both the original context and the cultural legacy of Futurism. Chapters touch on topics such as Futurism and Fascism, the geopolitics of Futurism, the Futurist woman, and translating Futurist texts. A large portion of the book is devoted to the practical aspects of performing Futurist theatrical ideas in the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn London teaches in the School of Languages, Linguistics \u0026amp; Film at Queen Mary University of London.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn London is professor of Hispanic studies and director of the Centre for Catalan Studies at Queen Mary University of London.
