Ideology in the 20th Century: studies of literary and social discourses and practices
tonomous ‘ism‘ with a clear manifesto. In accordance with neo-avant-
garde, ludism pluralized the space of literature.
Poetic experiments do not permeate the deep layers of society. They
remain on the margins of conventions. This means that the freedom re-
sulting from poetic play is always a marginal, subcultural phenomenon.
Social changes might define the playgrounds of poetry, but causation in
the other direction is much less likely. Avantgarde artistic trends strove
for social change, determining the utopia of the ‘new’ through far leftist
or far rightist political movements. In the Yugoslav example, Symposion-
ist poetry did not radically change the traditions of Vojvodinian Hun-
garian politics. Symposionist poetry created an alternative, critical politics
through poetic means—a yet unfinished experiment of the freedom of
the ‘poetically dwelling’ man; an experiment and play still waiting for fu-
154 ture experimenting players.
