Résumé

This essay studies select poems by the Spanish ultraísta José Rivas Panedas to offer a new perspective on the avant-garde and its raison d’être. Though the rural elements in some of Rivas’s texts might seem foreign to the most radical avant-garde’s technophilic renewal project, I argue that Rivas’s fascination with both the cosmopolitan café and with roosters at daybreak is evidence of the avant-garde’s constitutive paradox, a temporal paradox. In doing so, I defend a renewed practice of close reading with reference to recent critics of the methodology of literary studies like Franco Moretti and Rita Felski.
