Modernism, futurism and anthropophagy in Alberto Hidalgo's "poems without coming of age" (1914-1919)

Resumen

This article studies the pre-Avant-garde period of Alberto Hidalgo’s poetic pro-duction, between 1914-1919, considering particularly the qualification of “futu-rist” that was given to his first two books. In this youthful period, his poetry not only showed thematic glimpses of the Italian school, but also modernist formal aspects and a strong egotistical accent. The revision of this moment “without coming of age” of his poetic production demands a new perspective from ap-proaches like Brazilian “antropofagia” of Oswald de Andrade and Cuban “Cali-banismo” of Roberto Fernández Retamar.
