Per un'estetica della contraddizione: Julius Evola e il superamento del Dadaismo: Lucio Giuliodori (Avanguardie Perenni Vol. 5)
Questo studio vuole evidenziare come Evola, trascendendo il Dadaismo, abbia generato un processo di liberazione estrema e massima astrazione umana e intellettuale, a partire dalla quale ha preso corpo la sua intera Weltanschauung.Il saggio mostra la nascita, lo sviluppo e il trionfo, attraverso la sua negazione, di un percorso che è al contempo artistico, filosofico e iniziatico.

Evola viewed his participation in the Dada artistic movement, not as a caprice of youth, rather as a powerful artistic and existential outlay whose primary purpose was to liberate the 'I' (Self) from the conditioning of the self. Operating primarily through the artifice of painting and secondarily through poetry, Evola's artistic output offers a glimpse into rarefied landscapes of internally perceived visions and kaleidoscopic experiences.
In less than 30 pages, this study parsimoniously outlines the historical context of Evola's involvement with Dada and his contribution as the defacto leader of the Italian Dada Movement. Particularly poignant are the author's exegesis of the internal processes and Imagist techniques utilized by Evola to experience and articulate his artistic expressions, such as the isolation of consciousness from external stimuli or liberating the mind from habitual logical strutures. The common theme underlying Evola's Dada paintings is the expression of conscious liberation. Evola coins the term 'Abstract sensualism' to denote images that represent internal abstractions without references to external objects.
Contrary to the author's assertion that Evola used Dada as a vehicle to inflate the self (ego), the liberating processes and techniques utilized by the Baron lead to a Metanoia or diminution of the self as evidenced by his rejection of personal expression (Dada) to impersonal transcendence (Tradition).
From this study, the reader can profit by understanding how Evola used his Dada experience as the basis for and formation of his later philosophical, magical and esoteric writings. A book well worth checking out.
