The movement, its detractors claim, was conservative in outlook, denying the sexual and material poles of existence, and preferring sublimation over the direct expression of (and engagement with) base desire. These arguments are carefully re-examined and re-evaluated in this book, which focuses on the movement's artistic and political activities of the late 1930s, 1940s and beyond. The book reveals how a more transgressive strand of Surrealist art and thought emerged in France in this period, a strand that is underpinned by an increasing openness to sexual alterity. Surrealist works from this time are considered in terms of their more subversive aspect and shown not only to validate erotic desire but also to challenge the certainties (socio-political, personal) of their audience. Surrealist art and literature are thus presented as actively countering the repressive effects of a socially conservative France, aspiring not only to be at the vanguard of social change but of a change of consciousness in society. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages [273]-287) and index. 505 0 $a Sublimation/Desublimation: a question of definition -- Tel Quel critiques of surrealism: idealist, sublimatory and repressive -- The Breton-Bataille polemic revisited -- Breton's non-repressive view of sublimation and art -- Surrealism's inner alchemy: perturbing the senses, awakening the spirit -- The surrealist cult of love: extolling the forbidden fruit -- Conclusion. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Surrealism $z France. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008112397 650 0 $a Surrealism (Literature) $z France. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008112399 650 0 $a Sublimation (Psychology) $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85129474 650 0 $a Avant-garde (Aesthetics) $z France $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Arts and society $z France $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Arts and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00817856 650 7 $a Avant-garde (Aesthetics) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00824280 650 7 $a Sublimation (Psychology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01136591 650 7 $a Surrealism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01139538 650 7 $a Surrealism (Literature) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01139545 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 830 0 $a Art and thought. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2015082647 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210030718.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=615E618A1B1B11EAA846F92397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
