	Fifth Estate review of Surrealist Subversions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Sakolsky illustrates how the Chicago Surrealist Group and its affiliates from coast to coast who compose the larger Surrealist Movement in the US have always had an organic, reciprocal relationship with not only workers' struggles and the anarchist movement but also a wide variety of heretical and libratory currents.
		the surrealist practice of pure psychic automatism -- which dates back to 1919 -- was much more than a modern technical invention, for it quickly led to the recognition that entire cultures had methods of thought and communication that transcended the conscious...
		The international surrealist movement continues to mobilize energies for anarchists and all oppressed peoples to overcome capitalist-hierarchical civilization, along with nuclear-armed, oil-hungry, murdering elites and their immobilizing cultural distractions.

		With the publication of Surrealist Subversions; Rants, Writings & Images by the Surrealist Movement in the United States (Autonomedia 2002) we find that Surrealism is neither dead nor sleeping.
		Surrealist Subversions is a collection of texts, some published previously, some appearing here for the first time.
		A central demand of surrealism today is for the "abolition of whiteness." Pointing to the lack of a biological or ethnographic basis for the concept of a "white race," critics such as David Roediger call for the abandonment of this socially constructed illusion.

		One might say that surrealist strands may be found in movements such as Free Jazz (Don Cherry, Sun Ra, etc.) and even in the daily lives of people in confrontation with limiting social conditions.
		While some have described David Lynch as a surrealist filmmaker, he has never participated in the surrealist movement or in any surrealist activity, although there are arguably some aspects of many of his films that are of surrealist interest.

		Ron Sakolsky's introduction does a fine job of identifying both the importance of Franklin Rosemont in keeping the surrealist tradition alive and the particular circumstances of his conversion to this radical cultural movement that will be instantly recognizable to anybody from the generation of baby boomers who rejected everything that American consumerism stood for.
		The Paris Surrealist Group and the extreme left of the French Communist Party were drawn together in 1925 by their support of Abd-el-Krim, leader of the Rif uprising against French colonialism in Morocco.
		Obviously, the surrealists and the leftwing of the French CP were onto something when they drew attention to "Murderous Humanitarianism," especially in the context of a brutal campaign against an earlier revolt of Islamic peoples.

	Comments on Necrophilic Logic - Message Board - ezboard.com
		As far as the modern surrealist movement surpassing the surrealist movement of the past, in my opinion it does and continues to do so--which doesn't mean that I might not have criticisms of some of what is done in the name of surrealism.
		Surrealist mannerism is the inoffensive, art oriented cliche that is so easily used by the media, advertising industry, etc, to produce a mild shock in the service of the status quo and sales revenue.
		Several surrealist groups have been active in various ways against the attempts at recuperation by capital and spectacle, though it could be argued what level of impact it had, and what degree of awareness it brings.

	[Nettime-bold] Autonomedia Announces "Surrealist Subversions"
		"Surrealist Subversions" is a brick of a book, at 742 pages perfect for hurling through the glass window of the Art History zoo -- which has had surrealism tied to an early-twentieth-century stake for quite some time now.
		Largely an anthology of "Arsenal/Surrealist Subversions", the Chicago-based surrealist journal borne of a late-60s dissatisfaction with the way things were going, the book seeks to continue the project of realizing poetry in everyday life.
		The task of binding the whole project together is expertly accomplished by editor Ron Sakolsky, particularly with his lengthy introduction to the book, in which he gives significant cultural and biographical background to the major and minor players in the movement.

		But it’s also true that surrealist works are a rarity on the art market, with most of the avant-garde classics (a nice oxymoron) in the hands of major collections outside the United States.
		The surrealists developed a whole body of strategies and approaches to the writing of poetry and the making of art — automatic writing, dream writing, collage, exquisite corpse collaborations, etc. — and Sakolsky’s anthology presents a healthy (or unhealthy, as the case may be) selection of such practices (e.g.

	Gone to Croatan: Anarchism and Surrealism.
		As explored in Sakolsky's collection, that connection is more fundamental for surrealists in the U.S. since they have a special affinity with the dreams and dynamite of the I.W.W.'s revolutionary unionism, an influence that becomes obvious in the surrealists' celebration of the "Chicago Idea" legacy.
		The kaliedoscopic flair with which the surrealists adopted the old Chicago Idea sixty or seventy years later provides this anthology with countless impressions and expressions of spontaneous uprisings in thought and deed that innovatively link radical politics to oppositional popular culture on dozens of fronts and with an endless array of weapons and tactics.
		As if to underline this point, Sakolsky presents the material collected in Surrealist Subversions according to themes of theory, critique, and action, rather than using a simple chronological format.
