The aim of the course will be to introduce the student to the thought and works of the Historical Vanguards, in a perspective that links them to the great romantic and anti-bourgeois thought. It seems increasingly evident that an adequate critical training can only be achieved by having a historical-cultural perspective capable of going back to the epistemic novelty marked by Duchamp and company, thanks to their reflections and their works, especially starting from the revolutionary device of the ready-made.
