In this contribution, I examine a prose writing by the Futurist poet Hirato Renkichi (1893/4–1922), titled “Sport” jidai (The age of “sports”, 1922). My interpretation of this text focuses on the trope of the intérieur, which I borrow from the writings of Walter Benjamin, who discussed the intérieur as a central element for conceiving domestic space in the 19th century, and touched on the ways in which it was «liquidated» in the 20th century. I trace the instantiations of the intérieur and its liquidation in Hirato’s text, interpreting it in connection with F. T. Marinetti’s Manifesto of Futurism (1909). I argue that, by mobilizing the trope of “sports”, Hirato articulated an original reflection on the liquidation of the intérieur.

Abstract
In this contribution, I examine a prose writing by the Futurist poet Hirato Renkichi (1893/4–1922), titled “Sport” jidai (The age of “sports”, 1922). My interpretation of this text focuses on the trope of the intérieur, which I borrow from the writings of Walter Benjamin, who discussed the intérieur as a central element for conceiving domestic space in the 19th century, and touched on the ways in which it was «liquidated» in the 20th century. I trace the instantiations of the intérieur and its liquidation in Hirato’s text, interpreting it in connection with F. T. Marinetti’s Manifesto of Futurism (1909). I argue that, by mobilizing the trope of “sports”, Hirato articulated an original reflection on the liquidation of the intérieur.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
