Our times are not just weird, but literally surreal: we live in a
paranoid, increasingly authoritarian culture in which the real, the
presumed and the purported are indistinguishable strands of a dense
hallucinatory web of mediated spectacles. Surrealpolitik takes up
cultural theorist Mark Fisher's challenge to expose capitalist
realism's 'realism' as nothing of the sort. To subject the symbolic
order to a surrealist mode of inquiry is to transgress taboos,
reveal biases and inconsistencies, test assumptions and investigate
the extent to which the real is, like our dreams - a fungible
projection of our unconscious expectations. The nexus of dreams,
hyperreality, paranoia, totalitarianism, terror, art, myth and
culture is where realpolitik becomes the surrealpolitik of the
title.
