Infos

The Surrealist Movement was committed to an affinity group praxis of anti-authoritarianism that challenged oppressive sociopolitical systems with radical art and culture. Examining key episodes in post-1945 transnational surrealism and para-surrealisms in Europe and the Americas, this volume elucidates the contemporary relevance of the ongoing surrealist resistance to domination and totalitarianism, with a focus on anti-Statism. Examining surrealism’s fundamental interaction with anarchism and Marxism, and investigating its forays into self-management and non-hierarchical forms of organization, the volume’s topics range from anti-Algerian War activism, to Mai ’68 and Cuban Revolution organizing, to the Nadaísmo movement in 1960s Colombia, to art strikes and art abolitionism.
