COHEN, Verónica. Automobiles and locomotives with the air of foals Futurism in Montevidean literature by Alfredo Mario Ferreiro. Índex [online]. 2019, n.7, pp.86-93. ISSN 2477-9199.  https://doi.org/10.26807/cav.v0i07.231.

The Uruguayan poet Alfredo Mario Ferreiro writes his first book El hombre que se comió un autobús (Poemas con olor a nafta)/The man who ate a bus (Poems which smells as petrol) in 1927. A year earlier, Tomasso Marinetti, creator of the Futurist movement had visited in Rio de la Plata as part of a tour Latin American. This movement influenced Ferrreiro´s work, but a more in-deepth analysis of his works shows that when being "replicated" in America, a new type of futurism appears with different elements, where "the vital" (Kush, 1986, pp. 6- 10) is present. We are interested in approaching this artist as a case to show how the appropriation of the European in America always involves the appearance of our elements that require an analysis which surpasses the form.

Keywords : Alfredo Mario Ferreiro; futurism; literature; Latin American; appropriations; vital.
