Description

Review "Effie Rentzou roots our contemporary understanding of globalization in the surrealist vision of the world in this groundbreaking study, as a movement founded on universalist principles, based in the reinvention of the concept of the human that originated in Greek antiquity. Her analyses of surrealist print journals show how surrealist deconstruction of Enlightenment notions that emerged from Greek thought led to a reimagining of what a new 'world community' might look like, how it could transcend and reconfigure existing borders in politics and the arts." --Katharine Conley, author of Surrealist Ghostliness"Marx famously said that so far philosophers have interpreted the world; the point is to change it. Here is what Effie Rentzou has done for our views of the French historical avant-gardes: in a series of vivid and vibrant close-ups, she demonstrates with verve and accuracy that the highly charged combination of dynamic nomadism and messy internationalism, this very 'rastaquouère' modernism, has indeed changed our world for good." --Jean-Michel Rabaté, coeditor of Historical Modernisms: Time, History and Modernist Aesthetics Product Description Offers an alternative narrative of globalization, one that integrates the avant-garde's enthusiasm for, as well as resistance to, the process. Rentzou identifies within the avant-garde a powerful political language that expressed the ambivalence of living and creating in an increasingly globalized world. About the Author EFFIE RENTZOU is a professor of French literature at Princeton University. She is the author of Littérature malgré elle: Le surréalisme et la tranformation du littéraire (Literature Despite Itself: Surrealism and the Transformation of the Literary) and the coeditor of 1913: The Year of French Modernism.
