La liturgio de l' foiro (Elementoj por ekzegezo)

An essayistic collection that situates and critiques a movement within the Esperanto community, reproducing the original manifesto, commentary, notes, and a supplement of letters and polemics. It diagnoses an identity crisis between ideological slogans and everyday practice, rejects grand aims of officialization and anti-English rhetoric, and proposes pragmatic goals: language pedagogy, broadened interpersonal and nondiscriminatory contacts, stronger cultural production, and more frequent congresses as integration spaces. The author analyzes competing interpretations of the manifesto, distinguishes an orthodox current from heterodox variants, and assesses the movement’s rhetorical transformations into dogma while urging clearer cultural and organizational strategies.
