Although scholars have recognized antirationalist premises undergirding the Italian Futurists' rejection of parliamentary politics, the integral role of Futurist aesthetics in that polemical project has yet to be elucidated. Through an examination of Umberto Boccioni's Futurist tract Pittura scultura Futuriste: Dinamismo plastico (1914) and works such as his Unique Forms of Continuity in Space (1913) and Carlo Carrà's Funeral of the Anarchist Galli (1911), I explore the Futurists' incorporation of French philosopher Henri Bergson's theories of time and space into a utopian campaign to transform the consciousness of the Italian citizenry and inaugurate a political revolt against Italy's democratic institutions. © 2000, College Art Association of America, Inc.
