Although Surrealism is usually associated with the 1920s and 1930s,
it remained a vital force in Paris throughout the postwar period.
This important book offers the first detailed account in English of
the trajectory of the French Surrealists in the 1950s and 1960s,
giving particular emphasis to the significance of myth for the
group in its reception of science fiction and its engagement with
fantastic art. Offering new readings of the art and writings of the
later generation of Surrealists, Gavin Parkinson demonstrates how
they were connected to the larger cultural and political debates of
the time. Whereas earlier Surrealist art and writing drew on
psychoanalytic practices, younger Surrealists engaged with
contemporary issues, ideas, and themes of the period of the Cold
War and Algerian War (1954-62), such as parapsychology, space
travel, fantastic art, increasing consumerism in Europe, emerging
avant-gardes such as Nouveau Realisme, and the rise of the whole
genre of conspiracy theory, from Nazi occultism to flying saucers.
Futures of Surrealism offers a unique perspective on this brave new
world.
