SCHEDULE
The ALGCR conference marked the centenary of the publication of the first manifestos of surrealism and the consecration of the concept.
The legacy of surrealism is immense, in literatures for which the political dimension does not mean depriving literature of its essence, but lies at the centre of its imaginative and performative intent. Surrealism is a way of turning literature into act and gesture, and these have both an aesthetic and a political function.
The relation of Surrealism to the social world has also been discussed: does it primarily assert the freedom of the artist or does it strive for liberation in general?
Apart from the occasional character of the centenary, the colloquium extended very interesting recent concerns and investigations in our intellectual and cultural space: the exhibitions dedicated to Victor Brauner, the Infra-Noir group or Jacques Hérold, the publication of the series of Gellu Naum’s Works (edited by Simone Popescu, author of an important study on Naum and surrealism), Deliei Ungureanu’s book From Paris to Tlön. Surrealism as World Literature, Michael Finkenthal’s book, The Infra-Noir Group, a Reunion of Solitudes, and others.
