Description: Morning Star : Surrealism, Marxism, Anarchism, Situationism, Utopia, Paperback by Lowy, Michael; Lacoss, Donald (INT), ISBN 0292723571, ISBN-13 9780292723573, Brand New, Free shipping in the US An expanded edition of revered theorist Michael Lowy's Morning Star: Marxism and Surrealism (previously published in French, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, and Greek), this masterwork collects the author's essays on the ways in which surrealism intersected with a variety of revolutionary political approaches, ranging from Utopian ideals to Marxism and situationism. Taking its tide from Andre Breton's essay "Arcane 17," which casts the star as the searing firebrand of rebellion, Lowy's provocative work spans many perspectives. These include surrealist artists who were deeply interested in Marxism and anarchism (Breton among them), as well as Marxists who were deeply interested in surrealism (Walter Benjamin in particular). Probing the dialectics of innovation, diversity, continuity, and unity throughout surrealism's international presence, Morning Star also incorporates analyses of Claude Cahun, Guy Debord, Pierre Naville, Jose Carlos Mariategui, and others, accompanied by numerous reproductions of surrealist art. An extraordinarily rich collection, Morning Star promises to ignite new dialogues regarding the very nature of dissent.
