| Summary: | The paper views the manifesto as a genre and looks into its role in avant-garde movements in the first half of the twentieth century. At the time, programme texts were used to promote, define and, very often, to establish a movement. Although they were written solely for the movement they declare, universal issues of art were often discussed in them, which makes them topical literature for historians and art theorists at all time. Some of the general ideas of avant-garde will always be found in manifestos - belligerence, criticism of tradition, criticism of institutions, rapture with the past, etc. Special attention is devoted to the analysis of Dada Manifesto 1918 by Tristan Tzara and to Dada comprehension of the manifesto, the manner Dadaists used it and other elements of the genre. |
