Like progressive educa- tion and pacifism, it lies close to the center of our immediate heritage; we ignore these matters at our own peril” (12). Yet in the years following this pronounce- ment, surrealism was variously ignored, regarded as a historical oddity, or at best celebrated for its contributions to culture. Recently, however, surrealism has reemerged as a nexus of tremendous scholarly interest, both in literature and in the visual arts. As one prominent art critic claims, “surrealism has returned with a vengeance” (Foster xi). This revival is evidenced in such publications as Sidra Stich’s Anxious Visions: Surrealist Art (1990), Hal Foster’s Compulsive Beauty (1993), Martica Sawin’s Surrealism in Exile and the Beginning of the New York School (1997), Whitney Chadwick’s edited volume Mirror Images: Women, Surrealism, and Self- Representation (1998), Mary Ann Caws’s Surrealist Painters and Poets (2001), Gérard Durozoi’s monumental tome History of the Surrealist Movement (reedited in 2002), and Johanna Malt’s Obscure Objects of Desire: Surrealism, Fetishism, and Politics (2004), to name only a few. In 2001, Lon- don’s Tate Gallery organized an extensive collection of surrealist works called “Surrealism: Desire Unbound,” representing both the visual and the written arts; this exhibition was moved to New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2001.1 Although these studies and exhibitions take the Continental surrealist movement of the 1920s as their point of departure, they also document trends in later art and literature that demonstrate significant surrealist influence in many countries and across many artistic and literary genres. There has been a growing recognition, in other words, that the end of the historical surrealist movement by no means signified the end of surrealist- inspired expression. I felt compelled to write Breton’s Ghost because, as Michael Benedikt suggests, “per- haps what Surrealism accomplished was to do more than merely persist, existing finally— as all literary movements must truly exist to survive— in terms of its impact on subsequent literature everywhere” (xxviii). Fundamental to any contemporary appraisal of surrealism is the fact that the French movement of the 1920s bore seeds before it died, and that those Copyrighted material – 9781137287793 Copyrighted material – 9781137287793 2 ● Surrealism in Latin American Literature seeds were carried aloft by many winds. Wallace Fowlie wrote in 1960 that “an historical study of surrealism makes it out to be anti- literary and anti- poetical. Yet today it seems to us the founder of a new literature and a new poetry. Born in Paris and nurtured by approximately ten men, it spread in all directions and has influenced men everywhere directly or indirectly” (202). There was some- thing about surrealism’s nondualistic conception of the world, about its radical rebellion against rigidities of many kinds, about its call to revive the collective as well as the individual imagination that could still excite artists and poets late into the twentieth century. I suspect that this is not a simple question of the persistence of a body of aes- thetic principles, but rather one of surrealism’s adaptability to developments in contemporary Western thought and popular culture. The points of convergence are numerous. In attempting to map those points, we might begin with René de Costa’s observation (a propos of Pablo Neruda’s poetry) that “surrealism has left us with an appreciation for the suggestive power of discontinuous discourse” (Poetry 4). This mode of discontinuous discourse (approached in related but distinct ways by Anglo- American modernist writers) is now commonplace not only in literature but in photography, film, painting, and aspects of popular culture such as advertising. From there, we could recall James Clifford’s definition of surrealism as “an aesthetic that values fragments, curious collections, unexpected juxtapositions— that works to provoke the manifestation of extraordinary realities drawn from the domain of the erotic, the exotic, and the unconscious” (118). Clifford’s essay on what he terms “ethnographic surrealism” stresses the surrealist princi- ple of defamiliarization—that is, of making the familiar strange— as one of the foundational elements of twentieth-century anthropology. He goes as far as to suggest that surrealism, in its practice of “taking culture seriously, as a contested reality,” in fact set the stage for what has become the modern French scholarly tradition (121). Finally, Clifford posits a connection between surrealism and Third World modernism, a theoretical thread that leads from 1920s France into the anticolonial or postcolonial discourse of figures such as Aimé Césaire (Martinique), Octavio Paz (Mexico), and Alejo Carpentier (Cuba) (127). To follow this thread even further, arguments can be made for surrealism as a precursor to postmodernism. The postmodern fascination with hybridity, for example, is prefigured in the principle of the juxtaposition of unrelated elements, popularized by the surrealist practice of montage or collage. The art historian Robert Bolton observes that “surrealism, having not long ago been dismissed as a decadent, self- indulgent art, has recently been undergoing a reevaluation”; he goes on to claim that the movement’s experimentation with defamiliarization “is now considered by some to be a forerunner of the postmodernist mentality, particularly as it addresses questions of linguistic shifts, figurative language, and Copyrighted material – 9781137287793 Copyrighted material – 9781137287793 Introduction ● 3 the like” (51). Matei Calinescu argues that the Continental avant-garde, and particularly Dada and surrealism, prefigures several “postmodernist notes,” including antielitism, antiauthoritarianism, gratuitousness, anarchy, nihilism, and the idea of chance (143). European theorists from Foucault to Kristeva to Derrida and Lacan have all drawn at some point from the deep well of surreal- ist thought: according to Margaret Cohen, “High surrealism must be included as an intellectual pressure to which the French theoretical avant- garde [of the 1960s and 1970s] responded” (12).2 Taking all these “traces” into account, we can surmise that surrealism’s survival in varied guises late into the twen- tieth century has much to do with its very adaptability— its ability

  • Baroque Poetics and the Logic of Hispanic Exceptionalism by Allen E
    Baroque Poetics and the Logic of Hispanic Exceptionalism by Allen E. Young A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literatures in the GRADUATE DIVISION of the UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY Committee in charge: Professor Francine Masiello, Co-chair Professor Michael Iarocci, Co-chair Professor Robert Kaufman Fall 2012 Abstract Baroque Poetics and the Logic of Hispanic Exceptionalism by Allen Young Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literatures University of California, Berkeley Professors Francine Masiello and Michael Iarocci, Chairs In this dissertation I study the how the baroque is used to understand aesthetic modernity in twentieth-century Spain and Latin America. My argument is that the baroque, in contemporary Hispanic and Latin American studies, functions as a myth of cultural exceptionalism, letting critics recast avant-garde and postmodern innovation as fidelity to a timeless essence or identity. By viewing much contemporary Spanish-language as a return to a baroque tradition—and not in light of international trends—critics in effect justify Spain and Latin America’s exclusion from broader discussions of modern literature. Against this widespread view, I propose an alternative vision drawn from the work of Gerardo Diego, José Lezama Lima and Severo Sarduy. These authors see the baroque not as an ahistorical, fundamentally Hispanic sensibility located outside the modern, but as an active dialogue with the wider world. In very different ways, they use the baroque to place the Hispanic world decidedly inside global aesthetic modernity. In contrast to most contemporary scholarship on the topic, I do not take the baroque to be a predefined aesthetic practice, readily identifiable in seventeenth- or twentieth- century authors.

  • The Concrete Poetry of Mathias Goeritz: a Graphic and Aural Analysis
    Natalia Torija-Nieto HA-551-05/06: History of Sound Art December 19, 2014 FA14 | Pratt Institute | Instructor: Charles Eppley The Concrete Poetry of Mathias Goeritz: a Graphic and Aural Analysis This essay focuses on the work of German-Mexican artist Mathias Goeritz as influenced by the performances and writings of Hugo Ball and Dada sound art and poetry. Goeritz’s rather spiritual approach towards the pursuit of the Gesamtkunstwerk, are key to understand the roots of his work and his short but noteworthy venture into concrete poetry. The aural component in the realization of his work is associated with the adapted readings and performances of this kind of poetry worldwide during the 1950s and 60s with artists such as Eugen Gomringer, Augusto and Haroldo de Campos, Décio Pignatari, and Mary Ellen Solt, among others. By historicizing the main influences and artists that inspired these poets, I will explore the consequent concrete poetry movement of the post-war era that is visible through their works, particularly on Mathias Goeritz. !1 In his essay on concrete poetry, R.P. Draper defines the term as “the creation of verbal artifacts which exploit the possibilities, not only of sound, sense and rhythm—the traditional fields of poetry—but also of space, whether it be the flat, two-dimensional space of letters on the printed page, or the three-dimensional space of words in relief and sculptured ideograms.”1 Concrete poetry challenges the conventional expressiveness of traditional poetry by considering its play of visual, graphic, and aural qualities. This essay presents examples of the work of Mathias Goeritz and his Latin American contemporaries, particularly the Brazilian group Noigandres formed by Haroldo and Augusto de Campos and Décio Pignatari, who first introduced the term “concrete poetry” in 1953.
