A literary manifesto is not a program. Even so, many are irritated by the doctrinal constraints of any manifesto or by its imprecision.

For, of course, there is a policy of literature.
But even if it persists in terminological confusion, the substantive issue is the same: the manifesto, accompanied or not by the program, practices the delimitation of other generations and groups, challenges and proposes something new. At least as an intention. There are situations when the manifesto precedes a generation / grouping, being issued by one or more theorists, and helps to clot it. (Less)
