Book excerpt: Strom (modern and contemporary art and theory, Grand Valley State U.) identifies and describes two validation strategies used by the Surrealists in Paris during and after World War I: the appropriation of historical figures, and the self-conscious construction of a Surrealist group identity based on the principles of solidarity and faith in a common cause. She considers the historical context of the movement's rise, and its views of history and trans-historicity. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Book Synopsis Surrealism, Politics and Culture by : Raymond Spiteri
Download or read book Surrealism, Politics and Culture written by Raymond Spiteri. This book was released on 2020-03-18. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2003. Drawing on literary, art historical and historical studies, this essay collection explores the complex encounter between culture and politics within Surrealism. The Surrealist movement was one of the first cultural movements to question explicitly the relation between culture and politics, and its attempt to fuse social and cultural revolution has been a critical factor in shaping our sense of modernity. This anthology addresses not only the contested ground between culture and politics within Surrealism itself, and within the subsequent historical accounts of the movement, but also the broader implications of this encounter on our own sense of modernity. Its goal is to delineate the role of radical politics in shaping the historical trajectory of Surrealism.

Book Synopsis Surrealism by : Natalya Lusty
Download or read book Surrealism written by Natalya Lusty. This book was released on 2021-08-12. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the salient ideas and practices that have shaped Surrealism as a protean intellectual and cultural concept that fundamentally shifted our understanding of the nexus between art, culture, and politics. By bringing a diverse set of artistic forms and practices such as literature, manifestos, collage, photography, film, fashion, display, and collecting into conversation with newly emerging intellectual traditions (ethnography, modern science, anthropology, and psychoanalysis), the essays in this volume reveal Surrealism's enduring influence on contemporary thought and culture alongside its anti-colonial political position and international reach. Surrealism's fascination with novel forms of cultural production and experimental methods contributed to its conceptual malleability and temporal durability, making it one of the most significant avant-garde movements of the twentieth century. The book traces how Surrealism's urgent political and aesthetic provocations have bequeathed an important legacy for recent scholarly interest in thing theory, critical vitalism, new materialism, ontology, and animal/human studies.
