First Manifesto 1958 Excerpts
Nadaísta
I
The Nadaism is a state of revolutionary spirit, and exceeds all kinds of forecasts and possibilities.
II has sometimes viewed the artist as a symbol that fluctuates between holiness or madness. We claim it saying that he is a man, a mere man, that nothing separates it from the human condition common to other human beings. And that is only distinguished from others by virtue of his office and the specific elements that make their destination. The artist is a being privileged with some exceptionally gifted and mysterious with which nature endowed him. It is satanic, strange forces of biology, and conscious efforts by building emotional insights and experiences in the history of thought. Their destination is a simple choice or vocation, or irrational, or conditioned by a certain bio-psycho-conscious, which lies on l if political world, on madness if he is a poet, or if mystical transcendence.

try to define poetry as any act of selfless spirit is completely free and budgeting ethical, political or rational than men and are formulated programs for happiness and justice. This exercise of the creative spirit originated in sensitive powers, it is limited to the field of pure subjectivity, useless, the solitary act of Being poetic exercise no social function or moralistic. It is an act that runs itself, the most useless of the creative spirit. Jean-Paul Sartre described him as the choice of failure. Poetry is, in essence, an aspiration lonely beauty. The most corrupting vice masturbatory the modern spirit. VI
rectify the old American concept that a people is young by virtue of its landscapes. It is because of his ideas and his spiritual evolution. The decrepitude is not an old concept of the physical world, but the expiration of the resigned spirit, unable to adapt to new ways of life and culture. America is old since birth. Because of its discoverers and their heritage, their birth meant to the history a kind of death. Or more accurately, an abortion imperfect for life. In this way she was not born culturally on their own, nurtured and nourished by a tired old and sterilizing transmitted through the umbilical cord of their language and their beliefs. Faced with the dilemma of being or not being, to choose a separate culture with universal meaning, what does it mean for American culture carved frogs, reviving myths, superstitions increase, retain the long-forgotten, prehistory, has not yet culture does not determine anything in the future of contemporary ideas? Dwell on the past with a contemplative wonder, evidence of the complex changed America to a world that decides their fate and historical and biological survival through existing social revolutions and scientific achievements of space and are competing for political dominance of the Earth. America can not rooted in regional, in folklore, in the mythic tradition. That would be an aspect of his intellectual and artistic development but can not decide his fate and his history of these lower forms of development. America must overcome its complex spiritual infantilism. Otherwise we would be in the Age of the Frog and the Lagoon, while the scientific technique has fixed stars in outer space. No nation, no continent is old or new can choose your destination separately. The slightest wave of the sea of \u200b\u200bwaving contemporary history with the future movement of people and decide their fate or misfortune. A culture lonely, disconnected from the universal interests es imposible de concebir. Nadie puede evadirse, ni eludir el papel que representa en el mundo moderno. Todo se relaciona de una manera profunda en esta época en que el simple hombre encarna una misión en la historia: su acción o su indiferencia implican una conducta de inmensas responsabilidades éticas, y al aceptarla o negarla, se salva o se condena. Ya no podemos aceptar como sentido moral de la existencia, aquel pensamiento agonista de Kierkegaard: “Sea como sea el mundo, yo me quedo con una naturalidad original que no pienso cambiar en aras del bienestar del mundo”.

Hemos renunciado a la esperanza de trascender bajo las promesas de cualquier religión o idealismo filosófico. Para nosotros éste the world is and this is the man. Other hermeneutical on these obvious truths have no human sense. Abstractions and pipe dreams on the Self of man, fall into the domain of pure speculation and metaphysical symbolism, natural product of man's longing to transcend their particular institution, and hold it in an ideal way beyond all limits and space temporary. This longing is for idealistic and poetic nature that wants to crystallize the essence of Being at all, in the eternal. To propose that illusion after death is the mission of religion. We believe that the destiny of man is earthly and temporal, is performed on specific plans, and only a dynamic operator on the material world is a measure of its spiritual mission, setting his mind in the history of human culture. Man is the Absolute as casual and not necessarily between the accident from its beginning and its end. This criterion excludes any possibility of transcendence. The man chosen for their immediate possibilities this land immanence. Metaphysics is an investigation into the death and the transcendent possibilities of existence. Or rather, is an evasion of Being to the same Self that is unknown. That's why creating a world for itself, completely detached from the historical evolution that is unique to the political field, which means sharing the world with others. Therefore, only "utility" of metaphysics is to think about death, because thinking about life is, indeed, politics. For the essential character of the irreducible ideas to life, pure speculation does not interest us as the aspiration for transcendence. As ever the image of the world is the metaphysical exercise leads to social and terrestrial solutions of justice, perfection and human happiness. On the contrary. the consequence is despair and disorder. XI
Freedom is, in short, an act that was committed. There is a feeling or an idea or a passion. It is an act poured into the world of history. It is, in essence, the denial of solitude. XIII
Destroying an order is at least as difficult as creating it. Before undertaking such huge proportions, we give up destroying the established order. Nadaism fundamental aspiration is to discredit that order. When you try this revolutionary movement, we fulfill the mission of renewing the life cycle, and is, in essence, fighting to free the spirit of resignation and the unstable defend the permanence of certain worships. In this society where lying is converted in order no one about who triumph, but on oneself. And fight against the other means teaching them to triumph over them. The mission is this: Do not let faith intact, or an idol in place. All that is set as adorable by the ruling order will be reviewed and revised. Be kept only what is facing the revolution, and founded by his consistency indestructible, the foundations of the new society. The rest will be removed and destroyed. How far? The end does not matter from the point of view of the struggle. Because they do not get is also the fulfillment of a destiny.
