'Abigail Susik's brilliant account of surrealism's sustained aesthetic
subversion and outright attack on compulsive wage labour and its
genealogy in the late-nineteenth century radically reorients our
understanding of this influential international movement. With great
erudition and conceptual savvy, she places surrealism in the social
history of workplace rationalisation, labour struggles and the
feminisation of white-collar labour. Surrealist automatism is shown to
function like work-to-rule sabotage. Automatic writing emerges as a
gendered subversion of the automation of the workplace present in
surrealist photography and in the eroticised imagery of the typewriter
and the sewing machine. Surrealism can still inspire challenges to the
nature and organisation of work in the information age.'

"A richly textured and startlingly original meditation on the meaning and
uses of contemporary ‘neo-slave narratives.’ Displaying an impressive
analytical sophistication and historical depth, Yogita Goyal reveals how
these new narratives open a window onto a range of contemporary global
developments, from human trafficking to illegal immigration, child
soldiering to forced marriage, debt bondage to domestic servitude.
Essential and timely, Runaway Genres cements Yogita Goyal’s position as
one of the most gifted intellectuals of her generation."

Surrealpolitik
Surreality and the National Security State
John Schoneboom
FORTHCOMING FROM ZERO BOOKS IN 2022
Our times are not just weird, but literally surreal: we live in an
increasingly authoritarian culture in which the real, the
presumed, and the purported are indistinguishable strands of a
dense hallucinatory web of mediated spectacles.
Surrealpolitik subjects the national security state to a surrealist

mode of inquiry involving a mash-up of dreamwork, anti-fascism,
spectacular crime, paranoia, and playful black humor. To
challenge the symbolic order surrealistically is to transgress
taboos, up-end assumptions, and investigate the liminal terrain
between reality and delusion. Within this nexus of dreams,
hyperreality, terror, desire, and cultural gaslighting, realpolitik
becomes the surrealpolitik of the title.
Dreams of Anarchy and the
Anarchy of Dreams: Adventures
at the Crossroads of Anarchy
and Surrealism Ron Sakolsky
The wild current of anarchy runs deeply throughout the oneiric
river of surrealism. Here then is a book of dreams set in motion
by the myriad historical and contemporary interactions between
surrealism and one of its most marvelous accomplices:
anarchism. A vast and comprehensive critical history, carefully
documenting the fleeting and sometimes lengthy and troubled
affiliations of scores of surrealist legends in France, Spain, North
America, and elsewhere, not only with anarchism but also
Trotskyism, Stalinism, council communism, anti-fascism, and
indigenous cultures. Ron Sakolsky’s magnum opus.

Nests in Air:
poems by Nathan Hoks
“These funny, sensitive, and wonderfully weird
poems/images/complications weave the familial with the
surreal, the airy with the erudite, the nest with the house.
Settle in. Don’t worry. Start flying. Welcome home.”
— Matt Hart
“In this place of tenderness and threat, Hoks’s speaker
attempts to take up a fatherhood outside patriarchy, to
repurpose the human eye and brain for something other
than a gunsight or surveillance device. With the
absurdity and purpose of Lear, Yeats, and Clare, he
attempts to take the crow’s eye view, without hurting
anyone, without taking anything from anyone.”
— Joyelle McSweeney

Alice Paalen Rahon:
Shapeshifter
trans. Mary Ann Caws
New York Review Books/Poets
2021
Alice Paalen Rahon was a surrealist poet then painter, French then
naturalized Mexican, married to Wolfgang Paalen and participating
in his journal DYN, lover of Picasso and Valentine Penrose. She
exemplified a very beautiful crossover figure in many senses,
between surrealism and abstract expressionism, shifting the dates
and places of her birth and her styles of writing and painting,
constructing ballet figures and film-making. In exile among other
creative artists, she limped her way along in poetry and prose as a
friend of Frida Kahlo and a lover of animals, particularly owls,
birds, and her many cats.
Mina Loy: Apology of Genius, by Mary Ann Caws
Reaktion Books, 2022 spring
Hardcover with MANY images also in
colour
Mina Loy was born in London in 1882, became American, and lived
variously in New York, Europe, and finally, Aspen until she died in 1966.
Flamboyant and unapologetically avant-garde, she was a poet, painter,
novelist, essayist, manifesto-writer, actress, and dress and lampshade
designer. Her life involved an impossible abundance of artistic friends,
performance, and spectacular adventures in the worlds of Futurism,
Christian Science, feminism, fashion, and everything modern and
modernist.
Mina Loy was everything and everywhere, from Futurism and much
else to the Arensberg salon in New York and the boxing excitement
around her lover and husband Arthur Cravan, of whom many
photographs in these pages. She was unapologetically gorgeous in all
her ages, in all of which these pages follow with a heap of images in full
color. This new account explores Mina Loy’s exceptional life and
features many rare images of Mina Loy and the Swiss writer, poet,
artist, boxer, and provocateur Arthur Cravan—who disappeared
without a trace in 1918.

Radical Dreams
Surrealism, Counterculture, Resistance
Edited by Elliott H. King and Abigail Susik

Surrealism is widely thought of as an artistic movement
that flourished in Europe between the two world wars.
However, during the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s, diverse
radical affinity groups, underground subcultures, and
student protest movements proclaimed their
connections to surrealism. Radical Dreams argues that
surrealism was more than an avant-garde art
movement; it was a living current of radicalism.
