ABSTRACT

This study attempts to analyze Surrealism in Oldooz and the Crows, a short story written by the Iranian author Samad Behrangi. Surrealism is a cultural movement founded in 1920s by the French poet and critic Andre Breton. The surrealists favored in the function of the world of unconscious mind in integrating fancies and dreams to the phenomenal world in order to elaborate a higher reality. They also were interested in Freud's theories about unconscious mind and the power of free imagination especially in Children. Moreover, they insisted on the automatic writing avoiding regular artistic conventions and restrictive rule. In this regard, the researcher tries to discuss the imaginative freedom and childhood dreams propounded in Behrangi's short story Oldooz and the Crows to consider whether this literary work can be considered as a surrealist work or not.  

THE SURREALIST NOVEL: ITS PRINCIPLES AND STRUCTURES IN ANDRE BRETON'S NADJA, L'AMOUR FOU AND ARCANE 17

 by Carol Elizabeth Lang

"La liberte n fest pas, comme la liberation, la lutte contre la maladie, elle est la sante." 
Andre Breton Arcane 17

"Freedom is not like liberation, the fight against disease, it is health."

ABSTRACT
Surrealist principles and structures in Nadja, L TAmour fou and Arcane 17 reveal the continuing preoccupation of Andre Breton with the liberation of the unconscious and its communication to the reader. The purpose of this dissertation is to trace the evolution of such structures and to demonstrate the contribution of Breton’s early medical background to these works including the influence of J. Babinski.

In the Introduction the lack of interest in these works on the part of key critics is considered. Passages from Clair de terre, LesPas perdus and the Manifeste du Surrealisme are seen, on the other hand, to suggest the early concern of Breton with the potential of the Surrealist novel.

Each of the three works is then treated in depth. The explicit intentions of Breton are cited (except in the case of Arcane 17). N e x t , the physical structures of each work are examined. These are considered to be spatial indications of Breton’s thought. Primary and secondary divisions, paragraphing, sentence length and illustrated matter are discussed. 

Special attention is given to Breton’s continuing attempt to provide the work as a ’’glass house” to the reader. Physical structures are seen to be original, varied, uneven, open and groping in Nadja.

They are more even but more eclectic in L ’Amour fou. In Arcane 17 they
are structures capable of communicating Breton’s most mature, intense
expression.

Thematic structures are explored in detail. In Nadja these are many. Self-expression via the unconscious, surrealist space, attraction and repulsion, the four elements, the promenade, the encounter and liberty and creation receive attention. Particular study is made of the
principal themes of the unconscious, the promenade, the encounter and liberty. In L^Amour fou, Breton is seen to have gathered these loose thematic structures into a tighter framework. From the earlier themes of Nadja four principal notions are shown to have developed: objective chance, the encounter, mad love, and woman and child.

 The thematic intensity of Arcane 1 7 , finally, is seen to depend on the integration of
three structures, that of disintegration and reintegration, woman and the child and liberty and creation. Use of generative images to document and communicate these notions to the reader is noted.

In addition, lexical elements and syntactical structures are examined since they play a unique role in the Surrealist documentation of the unconscious in these works. Interplay of proper nouns, juxtaposition of psychological, scientific, poetic, casual and Biblical terms,
as well as an often utilized "springboard" technique are explored.

These elements, as well as the creative use of open-ended sentences,
italics and suspension points permit simultaneous documentation of objective and subjective realities.

In the Conclusion these principles and structures are found to provide for the liberation of the unconscious and the consequent evolution of the dream. At the same time they involve closely superimposed objective and subjective documentation of this process. Both aspects
must be considered characteristic of the Surrealist novel as envisioned by Breton.

The ‘Continuing Misfortune’ of Automatism in Early Surrealism

Abstract 

In the 1924 Manifesto of Surrealism surrealist leader André Breton (1896-1966) defined Surrealism as ‘psychic automatism in its pure state,’ positioning ‘psychic automatism’ as both a concept and a technique. This definition followed upon an intense period of experimentation with various forms of automatism among the proto-surrealist group; predominantly automatic writing, but also induced dream states. This article explores how surrealist ‘psychic automatism’ functioned as a mechanism for communication, or the expression of thought as directly as possible through the unconscious, in the first two decades of Surrealism. It touches upon automatic writing, hysteria as an automatic bodily performance of the unconscious, dreaming and the experimentation with induced dream states, and automatic drawing and other visual arts-techniques that could be executed more or less automatically as well. For all that the surrealists reinvented automatism for their own poetic, artistic and revolutionary aims, the automatic techniques were primarily drawn from contemporary Spiritualism, psychical research and experimentation with mediums, and the article teases out the connections to mediumistic automatism. It is demonstrated how the surrealists effectively and successfully divested automatism of all things spiritual. It furthermore becomes clear that despite various mishaps, automatism in many forms was a very successful creative technique within Surrealism. 

Exquisite Corpses: Representations olectivf Violence in the Cole Surrealiist Unconscous
Megan C. McShane is a doctoral candidate in Art History at Emory University.
This paper will address the collective method for producing drawings and collages employed by the Surrealists, known as the cadavre exquis or exquisite corpse. In 1925 the Surrealists began playing the exquisite corpse game using words to produce fantastic sentences. The game was quickly adapted to produce strange and unexpected figural images. Playing the game entailed passing a sheet of paper among participants while folding the paper in order to conceal the previous person's response. Each person would contribute a part of the sentence or,if drawing, a partial image of a body. In the linguistic method, the players followed the approximate syntactical sequence of subject, verb, and predicate. In the visual method, the image of a body was substituted for the sentence. Andre Breton cites the elemental segments to be supplied by each person: "subject,verb, or predicate adjective—head, belly, or legs" {hkmifestos1 79). The first sentence produced provided the unusual name for the game: "The exquisite / corpse / will drink / the young / wine" [Le-cadavre-exquis-boira-le-vin-nouveau]

Lecture delivered in Brussels by André Breton on the 1st June 1934

Comrades:
The activity of our surrealist comrades in Belgium is closely allied with our own activity, and I am happy to be in their company this evening. Magritte, Mesens, Nougé, Scutenaire and Souris are among those whose revolutionary will—outside of all consideration of their agreement or disagreement with us on particular points—has been for us in Paris a constant reason for thinking that the surrealist project, beyond the limitations of space and time, can contribute to the efficacious reunification of all those who do not despair of the transformation of the world and who wish this transformation to be as radical as possible.

At the beginning of the war of 1870 (he was to die four months later, aged twenty-four), the author of the Chants de Maldoror and of Poésies, Isidore Ducasse, better known by the name of Comte de Lautréamont, whose thought has been of the very greatest help and encouragement to myself and my friends throughout the fifteen years during which we have succeeded in carrying a common activity, made the following remark, among many others which were to electrify us fifty years later: "At the hour in which I write, new tremors are running through the intellectual atmosphere; it is only a matter of having the courage to face them."
1868-75: it is impossible, looking back upon the past, to perceive an epoch so poetically rich, so victorious, so revolutionary and so charged with distant meaning as that which stretches from the separate publication of the Premier Chant de Maldoror to the insertion in a letter to Ernest Delahaye of Rimbaud's last poem, Rêve, which has not so far been included in his Complete Works. It is not an idle hope to wish to see the works of Lautréamont and Rimbaud restored to their correct historical background: the coming and the immediate results of the war of 1870. Other and analogous cataclysms could not have failed to rise out of that military and social cataclysm whose final episode was to be the atrocious crushing of the Paris Commune; the last in date caught many of us at the very age when Lautréamont and Rimbaud found themselves thrown into the preceding one, and by way of revenge has had as its consequence—and this is the new and important
fact—the triumph of the Bolshevik Revolution.

I should say that to people socially and politically uneducated as we then were—we who, on one hand, came for the most part from the petite-bourgeoisie, and on the other, were all by vocation possessed with the desire to intervene upon the artistic plane—the days of October, which only the passing of the years and the subsequent appearance of a large number of works within the reach of all were fully to illumine, could not there and then have appeared to turn so decisive a page in history. We were, I repeat, ill-prepared and ill-informed.

Above all, we were exclusively preoccupied with a campaign of systematic refusal, exasperated by the conditions under which, in such an age, we were forced to live. But our refusal did not stop there; it was insatiable and knew no bounds. Apart from the incredible stupidity of the arguments which attempted to legitimize our participation in an enterprise such as the war, whose issue left us completely indifferent, this refusal was directed—and having been brought up in such a school, we are not capable of changing so much that is no longer so directed—against the whole series of intellectual, moral and social obligations that continually and from all sides weigh down upon man and crush him. Intellectually, it was vulgar rationalism and chop logic that more than anything else formed the causes of our horror and our destructive impulse; morally, it was all duties: religious, civic and of the family; socially, it was work (did not Rimbaud say: "Jamais je ne travaillerai, ô flots de feu!" and also: "La main à plume vaut la main à charrue. Quel siècle à mains! Je n'aurai jamais ma main!" [Never will I work, O torrents of flame! The hand that writes is worth the hand that ploughs! What a century of hands! I will never lift my hand!]).

The more I think about it, the more certain I become that nothing was to our minds worth saving, unless it was... unless it was, at last "l'amour la poésie," to take the bright and trembling title of one of Paul Eluard's books, "l'amour la poésie," considered as inseparable in their essence and as the sole good. Between the negation of this good, a negation brought to its climax by the war, and its full and total affirmation ("Poetry should be made by all, not one"), the field was not, to our minds, open to anything but a Revolution truly extended into all domains, improbably radical, to the highest degree impractical and tragically destroying within itself the whole time the feeling that it brought with it both of desirability and of absurdity.

Many of you, no doubt, would put this down to a certain youthful exaltation and to the general savagery of the time; I must, however, insist on this attitude, common to particular men and manifesting itself at periods nearly half a century distant from one another. I should affirm that in ignorance of this attitude one can form no idea of what surrealism really stands for. This attitude alone can account, and very sufficiently at that, for all the excesses that may be attributed to us but which cannot be deplored unless one gratuitously supposes that we could have started from any other point. The ill-sounding remarks, that are imputed to us, the so-called inconsiderate attacks, the insults, the quarrels, the scandals—all things that we are so much reproached with—turned up on the same road as the surrealist poems. From the very beginning, the surrealist attitude has had that in common with Lautréamont and Rimbaud which once and for all binds our lot to theirs, and that is wartime defeatism.

I am not afraid to say that this defeatism seems to be more relevant than ever. "New tremors are running through the intellectual atmosphere; it is only a matter of having the courage to face them." They are, in fact, always running through the intellectual atmosphere: the problem of their propagation and interpretation remains the same and, as far as we are concerned, remains to be solved. But, paraphrasing Lautréamont, I cannot refrain from adding that at the hour in which I speak, old and mortal shivers are trying to substitute themselves for those which are the very shivers of knowledge and of life. They come to announce a frightful disease, a disease followed by the deprivation of all rights; it is only a matter of having the courage to face them also. This disease is called fascism.

Let us be careful today not to underestimate the peril: the shadow has greatly advanced over Europe recently. Hitler, Dolfuss and Mussolini have either drowned in blood or subjected to corporal humiliation everything that formed the effort of generations straining towards a more tolerable and more worthy form of existence. The other day I noticed on the front page of a Paris newspaper a photograph of the surroundings of the Lambrechies mine on the day after the catastrophe. This photograph illustrated an article titled, in quotation marks, 'Only Our Chagrin Remains'. On the same page was another photograph—this one of the unemployed of your country standing in front of a hovel in the Parisian 'poor zone'—with the caption Poverty is not a crime. "How delightful!" I said to myself, glancing from one picture to the other. Thus the bourgeois public in France is able to console itself with the knowledge that the miners of your country were not necessarily criminals just because they got themselves killed for 35 francs a day. And doubtless the miners, our comrades, will be happy to learn that the committee of the Belgian Coal Association intends to postpone till the day after tomorrow the application of the wage cut set for 20 May. In capitalist society, hypocrisy and cynicism have now lost all sense of proportion and are becoming more outrageous every day. Without making exaggerated sacrifices to humanitarianism, which always involves impossible reconciliations and truces to the advantage of the stronger, I should say that in this atmosphere, thought cannot consider the exterior world without an immediate shudder. Everything we know about fascism shows that it is precisely the confirmation of this state of affairs, aggravated to its furthest point by the lasting resignation that it seeks to obtain from those who suffer. Is not the evident role of fascism to re-establish for the time being the tottering supremacy of finance-capital? Such a role is of itself sufficient to make it worthy of all our hatred; we continue to consider this feigned resignation as one of the greatest evils that can possibly be inflicted upon beings of our kind, and those who would inflict it deserve, in our opinion, to be beaten like dogs. Yet it is impossible to conceal the fact that this immense danger is there, lurking at our doors, that it has made its appearance within our walls, and that it would be pure byzantinism to dispute too long, as in Germany, over the choice of the barrier to be set up against it, when all the while, under several aspects, it is creeping nearer and nearer to us.

During the course of taking various steps with a view to contributing, in so far as I am capable, to the organization in Paris of the anti-fascist struggle, I have noticed that already a certain doubt has crept into the intellectual circles of the left as to the possibility of successfully combating fascism, a doubt which has unfortunately infected even those elements whom one might have thought it possible to rely on and who had come to the fore in this struggle. Some of them have even begun to make excuses for the loss of the battle already. Such dispositions seem to me to be so dismaying that I should not care to be speaking here without first having made clear my position in relation to them, or without anticipating a whole series of remarks that are to follow, affirming that today, more than ever before, the liberation of the mind, demands as primary condition, in the opinion of the surrealists, the express aim of surrealism, the liberation of man, which implies that we must struggle with our fetters with all the energy of despair; that today more than ever before the surrealists entirely rely for the bringing about of the liberation of man upon the proletarian Revolution.

I now feel free to turn to the object of this pamphlet, which is to attempt to explain what surrealism is. A certain immediate ambiguity contained in the word surrealism, is, in fact, capable of leading one to suppose that it designates I know not what transcendental attitude, while, on the contrary it expresses—and always has expressed for us—a desire to deepen the foundations of the real, to bring about an even clearer and at the same time ever more passionate consciousness of the world perceived by the senses. The whole evolution of surrealism, from its origins to the present day, which I am about to retrace, shows that our unceasing wish, growing more and more urgent from day to day, has been at all costs to avoid considering a system of thought as a refuge, to pursue our investigations with eyes wide open to their outside consequences, and to assure ourselves that the results of these investigations would be capable of facing the breath of the street. At the limits, for many years past—or more exactly, since the conclusion of what one may term the purely intuitive epoch of surrealism (1919-25)—at the limits, I say, we have attempted to present interior reality and exterior reality as two elements in process of unification, or finally becoming one. This final unification is the supreme aim of surrealism: interior reality and exterior reality being, in the present form of society, in contradiction (and in this contradiction we see the very cause of man's unhappiness, but also the source of his movement), we have assigned to ourselves the task of confronting these two realities with one another on every possible occasion, of refusing to allow the preeminence of the one over the other, yet not of acting on the one and on the other both at once, for that would be to suppose that they are less apart from one another than they are (and I believe that those who pretend that they are acting on both simultaneously are either deceiving us or are a prey to a disquieting illusion); of acting on these two realities not both at once, then, but one after the other, in a systematic manner, allowing us to observe their reciprocal attraction and interpenetration and to give to this interplay of forces all the extension necessary for the trend of these two adjoining realities to become one and the same thing.

Myth, History, and Repetition: Andre Breton and Vodou
South Central Review, 2015

Terri Geis

Issue: 1

Volume: 32

Publication Date: 2015

Publication Name: South Central Review

IN 1948, ANDRÉ BRETON WROTE AN ESSAY that discussed his first encounter a few years prior with the paintings of Hector Hyppolite at the Centred’ Art in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.Breton, noting Hyppolite’s role as a Vodou priest, described his strong impression that the artist had, “an important message to communicate, that he was the guardian of a secret.”Breton’swords express a certain contradictory sense about Hyppolite and his painting, in which the urgent, important message is simultaneously a mystery that must be safeguarded or even withheld. As this essay will examine, the same contradiction lies at the heart of Breton’s broader efforts to relate Haiti and its traditions to surrealism’s evolving politics,and it widely relates to ongoing ideological debates within the movement as it evolved in post-World War II Europe. The history and culture of Haiti and Vodou held a central position within Breton’s turn to myth and esotericism in the mid-1940s, and informed his creative projects on secret initiation and utopia as political tools of freedom and the imagination. Yet Breton generally demonstrated a reluctance to write or speak directly about Haiti and Vodou.
