If the extraordinary London exhibition Dada and Surrealism Reviewed edited by Dawn Ades back in 1978 focused for the first time on the centrality of periodicals in the overall economy of the movement, Rosalind Krauss does not hesitate to define these publications as \"the true surrealist object\", works of art in themselves that challenge conventions and disciplinary boundaries in order to mix languages and forms of expression. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe essays collected in this volume reveal the role played by journals as veritable laboratories of Surrealism. In the introduction to the volume Jacques D√ºrrenmatt explores Paulhan and √âluard's journal \u003ci\u003eProverbe\u003c\/i\u003e (1920-21) while Franca Bruera and Elena Galtsova scour \u003ci\u003eLitt√©rature\u003c\/i\u003e above all in search of the contributions of women. Andrea Zucchinali in his essay traverses the crucial junctures of the periodical \u003ci\u003eLa R√©volution Surr√©aliste\u003c\/i\u003e (the movement's official journal) from 1924 until its closure in 1929. Gianluca Poldi opens his contribution on \u003ci\u003eLa R√©volution Surr√©aliste\u003c\/i\u003e and on other Surrealist journals that hosted the surrealists' reflections on the processes and materials of painting. Arnauld Maillet reconstructs the experimental and pioneering vein of the journal \u003ci\u003eL'√¢ge du cin√©ma\u003c\/i\u003e, while Anna Maria Testaverde and Elena Mazzoleni analyze Com≈ìdia very attentive to the international theatrical avant-garde.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The \"surreal without surrealism\" in the Italy of the Ventennio is the focus of Gabriele Gimmelli's contribution and with Elio Grazioli we move instead to American soil, where there the eclectic journal \u003ci\u003eView\u003c\/i\u003e. Alessandra Violi documents the Surrealist movement in Great Britain (from the small university magazine Experiment to Mass Observation) and Andrea Zucchinali offers a complete mapping of the journals at the end of the volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN13: 9788857252940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of Pages: 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication Date: 03 Jun 2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: Skira\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication City, Country: Milan, Italy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions (cm): 21(H)x15(L)560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight (gm): 560\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cb\u003eFranca Franchi\u003c\/b\u003e teaches at the University of Bergamo.\u003ch4\u003eReviews\u003c\/h4\u003e'Surrealism through Its Journals' reminds us that the movement began with, and cannot be understood without, the written word.--Lavia Laing \"Hyperallergic\"\u003cbr\u003e[Surveys] the avant-garde journals that paved the way for the 1920s' Surrealist movement.--Elena Clavarino \"Air Mail\"\u003cbr\u003e[The] book brings fresh analyses of Surrealist journals and their interdisciplinary influence, uncovering lesser-known contributions, especially from women and international movements.--Adam Schrader \"Artnet\"","brand":"Franca Franchi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48781327827161,"sku":"9788857252940","price":69.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0502\/9530\/8441\/files\/51AewB4AQjL._SL1181_d7612ae0-7dac-472b-aa47-f4eb81dd84d1.jpg?v=1780589178","url":"https:\/\/www.arielbooks.com.au\/products\/surrealism-through-its-journals-les-portes-du-r-%e2%84%a2ve-1924-ai2024-9788857252940","provider":"Ariel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
