Por um conceito de revolução surrealista

Abstract

This article seeks, through texts from the magazines La Révolution surréaliste (1924-1929) and Le Surréalisme au service de la révolution (1930-1933), to think about what would be the “surrealist revolution” that Breton and company sought in the early years of the movement. This will be done by going through the ideas that the surrealists manifested about the revolution (both their own and that of others, more specifically, the communist revolution). In addition, it will also be necessary to reinsert, within surrealism, one of its most important dissidents, Antonin Artaud, who was expelled precisely because of the debate about what the “surrealist revolution” would be.
