An Anthology of Ideas

The Surrealism Reader

François Jullien

To grow up is to grow old. With time, great love can turn into indifference. This title compares Western and Eastern - specifically Chinese - ways of thinking about time and processes of change. It argues that our failure to notice the effects of cumulative changes over time is due to Western thought's foundations in classical Greek philosophies.

The Silent Transformations

Ian Walker

Surrealism and Photography in Czechoslovakia sheds much-needed light on the location of the single greatest concentration of Surrealist photography - the Czech Republic - and examines the culture and tradition of Surrealist photography that has taken root and flourished there. This volume explores a rich and important artistic output, from 1934 to the present, very little of which has been seen outside of the Czech Republic.

On the Needles of Days

Surrealism and Photography in Czechoslovakia

Steven Harris

Georges Sebbag

Surrealism is central to the study of 20th-century art, literature, film and photography, but its international impact has extended across music, theatre, architecture, fashion and design, as well as thinking about society and politics. The Encyclopedia presents the first comprehensive and systematic overview of surrealism internationally, covering the theorists, critics, novelists, poets, playwrights, screenwriters, painters, collagists, object makers, sculptors, and film makers who made the surrealist movement. Alongside articles on writers and visual artists, the Encyclopedia includes overviews of national surrealist movements, related artistic and intellectual movements, key journals, patrons and collections, detailed overviews of surrealism's influence across the visual, applied and performing arts, and analyses of the key concepts which underpin surrealist theory and practice.

The International Encyclopedia of Surrealism

Surrealism is among the most influential and talked about ideas of the 20th century. While its contribution to the art and literature of the centry is well known, its relation to the development of intellectual ideas has only recently become a matter of investigation. This book details the surrealist engagement with specific issues in the intellectual history of the 20th century, drawing together essays from the whole history of surrealism to illustrate the tenacity and consistency with which the surrealists have treated themes of psychological reality and the construction of identity, cultural communication, freedom and poetry.
