Resumo
Álvaro de Campos, in his Ultimatum, published in the first and only issue of Portugal Futurista (1917), proclaims the revolution to come, not one of a strictly material kind but rather one fleshed out by the speculative imagination, conceived philosophically by way of a complex meditation on the historical expression of material habits and spiritual values while manifested poetically by way of a deeply ironic mediation of the now positivistic, now symbolic sources of human consciousness.
The revolution to come will be a material and dematerialized (or immaterial) one, since it will be nourished by the complex noetic territory open to the increasingly self-reflective human community presaged by modernity.
