Avantgarden Und Politik
Im Rausch der Revolution: Kunst und Politik bei André Masson und den surrealistischen Gruppierungen Contre-Attaque und Acéphale STEPHAN MOEBIUS Wirft man einen Blick auf die Debatten um die historische Avantgarde- bewegung des Surrealismus, so fällt auf, dass deren politisches Engage- ment1 in der Avantgardeforschung, in Ausstellungen und in der Kunst- geschichte allgemein auf spezifische und mehrere Weisen »gezähmt«2 wird: Entweder werden die politischen Aktivitäten der Surrealisten auf eine antibürgerliche Haltung reduziert oder sie werden als eine kurzzei- tige, von der »wahren« ästhetischen Praxis und den Kunstwerken der Surrealisten völlig abtrennbare Verirrung3 dargestellt. In manchen Inter- pretationen wirft man ihnen sogar vor, mit totalitären Systemen ver- wandt zu sein oder diese vorbereitet zu haben (Dröge/Müller 1995; Klinger 2004: 218). Im letzteren Fall gilt der (meist vor dem Hinter- grund der Totalitarismustheorie argumentierende) pauschale Vorwurf 1 Siehe dazu beispielsweise die Tractes surréalistes et déclarations collecti- ves 1922-1939 (Pierre 1980), Nadeau (1986), Short (1969) sowie Lewis (1988) und Spiteri/LaCoss (2003). 2 Vgl. Breuer (1997). Auch die Düsseldorfer Ausstellung (Spies 2002) über den Surrealismus machte eine Trennung zwischen Bildern und Manifes- ten, sie zähmte den Surrealismus und setzte die Bilder kaum in Beziehung zu den politischen Manifesten, Zeitschriften und Texten (vgl. Bürger 2002). 3 Vgl. Vailland (1948), Greenberg (1986), Alfred Barr (1936), William Ru- bin (1968). 89 STEPHAN MOEBIUS einer Geistesverwandtschaft mit dem Faschismus oder dem Stalinismus den gesamten historischen Avantgardebewegungen, ohne dass in den meisten Fällen im Einzelnen zwischen den unterschiedlichen Protago- nisten bzw. zwischen Surrealismus, Dadaismus, Bauhaus und dem fa- schistischen Futurismus unterschieden wird. Die Futuristen sind in der Tat kriegslüsterne Patrioten und spätere Parteigänger des italienischen Faschismus. -
The Thing Poetry of Marianne Moore and Francis Ponge »
« Reflecting the Other: The Thing Poetry of Marianne Moore and Francis Ponge » by Vanessa Jane Robinson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Comparative Literature University of Toronto © Copyright by Vanessa Jane Robinson 2012 « Reflecting the Other: The Thing Poetry of Marianne Moore and Francis Ponge » Vanessa Jane Robinson Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Comparative Literature University of Toronto 2012 Abstract Across continents and independently of one another, Marianne Moore (1887-1972) and Francis Ponge (1899-1988) both made names for themselves in the twentieth century as poets who gave voice to things. Their entire oeuvres are dominated by poems that attempt to reconstruct an external thing (inanimate object, plant or animal being) through language, while emphasizing the necessary distance that exists between the writing self and the written other. Furthermore, their thing poetry establishes an “essential otherness” to the subject of representation that (ideally) rejects an objectification of that subject, thereby rendering the “thing” a subject-thing with its own being-for-itself. This dissertation argues that the thing poetry of Marianne Moore and Francis Ponge successfully challenged the hierarchy between subject and object in representation by bringing the poet’s self into a dialogue with the encountered thing. The relationship between the writing self and the written other is akin to what Maurice Merleau-Ponty refers to in Le visible et l’invisible when he describes the act of perceiving what is visible as necessitating one’s own visibility to another. The other becomes a mirror of oneself and vice versa, Merleau-Ponty explains, to the extent that together they compose a single image. -

Surrealism in and out of the Czechoslovak New Wave
Introduction Surrealism In and Out of the Czechoslovak New Wave Figure I.1 A poet’s execution. A Case for the Young Hangman (Případ pro začínajícího kata, Pavel Juráček, 1969) ©Ateliéry Bonton Zlín, reproduced by courtesy of Bonton Film. 2 | Avant-Garde to New Wave The abrupt, rebellious flowering of cinematic accomplishment in the Czechoslovakia of the 1960s was described at the time as the ‘Czech film miracle’. If the term ‘miracle’ referred here to the very existence of that audacious new cinema, it could perhaps also be applied to much of its content: the miraculous and marvellous are integral to the revelations of Surrealism, a movement that claimed the attention of numerous 1960s filmmakers. As we shall see, Surrealism was by no means the only avant-garde tradition to make a significant impact on this cinema. But it did have the most pervasive influence. This is hardly surprising, as Surrealism has been the dominant mode of the Czech avant-garde during the twentieth century, even if at certain periods that avant-garde has not explicitly identified its work as Surrealist. Moreover, the very environment of the Czech capital of Prague has sometimes been considered one in which Surrealism was virtually predestined to take root. The official founder of the Surrealist movement, André Breton, lent his imprimatur to the founding of a Czech Surrealist group when he remarked on the sublimely conducive locality of the capital, which Breton describes as ‘one of those cities that electively pin down poetic thought’ and ‘the magic capital of old Europe’.1 Indeed, it would seem a given that Czech cinema should evince a strong Surrealist tendency, especially when we consider the Surrealists’ own long-standing passion for this most oneiric of art forms. -
Chapter 11 the Critical Reception of René Crevel
Chapter 11 The Critical Reception of René Crevel: The 1920s and Beyond Paul Cooke Born in 1900, Crevel was slightly too young to participate fully in the Dada movement.1 However, while fulfilling his military service in Paris’s Latour-Maubourg barracks, he met a number of young men – including François Baron, Georges Limbour, Max Morise and Roger Vitrac – who shared his interest in Dada’s anarchic spirit. On 14 April 1921 Crevel, Baron, and Vitrac attended the visite-conférence organized by the Dadaists at the Parisian church of Saint-Julien-le- Pauvre. Afterwards the three of them met up with Louis Aragon, one of the organizers of the afternoon’s event. As a result of this meeting the periodical aventure was born, with Crevel named as gérant. Only three issues would appear, with the editorial team splitting in February 1922 over the preparation of the Congrès du Palais (with Vitrac supporting Breton and the organizing committee, while Crevel and the others refused to abandon Tzara). Crevel would again defend Tzara against the proto-Surrealist grouping during the staging of Le Cœur à gaz at the Théâtre Michel in July 1923. At the very start of his career as a writer, therefore, it is clear that Dada was a significant influence for Crevel.2 However, despite siding with Tzara in the summer of 1923, it would not be long before Crevel was reconciled with Breton, with the latter naming him in the 1924 Manifeste as one of those who had “fait acte de SURRÉALISME ABSOLU” (Breton 1988: 328). It is as a Surrealist novelist and essayist that Crevel is remembered in literary history. -

Gender Performance in Portrait Photography: Unmasking Claude Cahun
Gender Performance in Portrait Photography: Unmasking Claude Cahun Shannon Moriarty Moriarty 2 Abstract This thesis examines the French artist Claude Cahun. During the early twentieth century, Cahun, working in collaboration with their partner, Marcel Moore, used photography to capture exaggerated gender performances. By visually analyzing the couple’s photographs and comparing such work to images of normative gender in interwar Paris, such as la femme moderne and the Surrealist muse, I analyze how Cahun launched a multi-layered attack against the role of the traditional “feminine” subject. Considering the feminist frameworks that were previously used to research Cahun’s photographs, this thesis pivots from such discussions to argue that Cahun’s and Moore’s gender is better understood as “neuter” and therefore expressing a gaze that is inherently queer. Through these dramatic subversions, Cahun and Moore’s work remains vitally relevant to contemporary feminist and queer theory and the critique of normative gender. Moriarty 3 Introduction Sitting in a chair is a person with close-cropped hair and a split fringe with feminine inward curls. They are adorned with painted hearts on their cheeks, eye shadow decorating each eyelid to the brow, and dark rouge-tinted lips that pucker coyly towards the viewer. Their tilted gaze is direct, demanding attention. The person wears the theatrical attire of a strongman at a circus performance, the accompanying dumbbell rests securely on their lap. The weights are highly phallic, a masculine symbol of strength. This hypermasculine performance of a strongman is distorted by the added elements of femininity, such as the exaggerated makeup, the ornamental comic characters Totor and Popol painted on the dumbbell, and the recurring symbols of hearts and lips.
