    El presente artículo analiza el tratamiento que hacen Tommasso Marinetti y Valentine de Saint-Point del tema del amor en relación al debate teorético actual sobre la muerte en la vanguardia. Examina algunos de los textos contra el amor más controvertidos escritos por los dos autores futuristas y explora la posibilidad de un enfoque no historicista sobre estos escritos. En particular, utilizando la noción derridiana de �injerto� textual, el artículo resitúa la polémica futurista contra el amor en la cultura contemporánea y sugiere una conexión �extemporánea� entre el contexto cultural de la vieja vanguardia y el presente. A la luz de esta conexión, el artículo aboga por un entendimiento más amplio de la relación entre los �muertos� y los �vivos� en los estudios vanguardistas

    The present paper discusses Tommaso Marinetti�s and Valentine de Saint-Point�s treatment of the theme of love in relation to the ongoing theoretical debate on the death of the avant-garde. It examines some of the most controversial texts against love written by the two futurist authors and explores the possibility of a non-historicist approach to these writings. In particular, using the Derridean notion of textual �transplantability�, the paper re-situates the futurist polemic against love in contemporary culture and suggests an �un-timely� connection between the cultural context of the old avant-garde and the present time. In the light of this connection, the paper argues for a broader understanding of the relationship between the �dead� and the �living� in avant-garde studies
