 Denaturalizing the artistic and literary avant-garde 
After exposing three trends that appear in many avant-garde theories, namely teleology, reification and dualism, this contribution sheds light on a perspective that allows us to read both antagonisms and conformisms of so-called avant-garde objects. Informed by the thought of Colette Guillaumin, more specifically by her conceptualization of the majority-minority relationship in L’idéologie raciste, the article proposes three ways to denaturalize the avant-garde : minorization, counter-oppositional discourse and utopianism.
