Lecture 1: The Oracular Message of Reality: Surrealist Ideas in World Literature and Cinema
第1講 現実が夢を通して預言する——世界の文学と映画におけるシュルレアリスム的理念

司会 柳原 孝敦(東京大学大学院人文社会系研究科・現代文芸論)

Abstract

In an essay accompanying the first manifesto of Surrealism in 1924, "Introduction au discours sur le peu de la réalité" [Introduction to the Discourse on the Paucity of Reality], André Breton proposed a revolutionary understanding of reality as a version of realism enriched with the logic of dreams. Objects with a life of their own bring the past back to life and prophesy the future. In the same essay, Breton praised Japan as a place where such objects are part of everyday reality. In parallel with the surrealists, a series of writers including Marcel Proust, Franz Kafka, and Marguerite Yourcenar developed a similar understanding of reality through the logic of dreams and living objects that have been very influential on today's world fiction and cinema. This talk proposes a never explored hidden network of the global circulation of surrealist ideas in our contemporary world that goes from Breton’s Nadja through Yourcenar’s 1938 Oriental Stories and Dreams and Destinies to Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams and Andrei Tarkovsky’s Nostalghia.

Lecture 2: Reality as a Cryptogram: Surrealist Ideas in Eastern Europe
第2講 現実は暗号である——東欧におけるシュルレアリスム的理念

司会 阿部 賢一(東京大学大学院人文社会系研究科・現代文芸論)

Abstract

Surrealism was global in outlook from its inception in Paris in the 1920s, and it spread internationally as early as the 1930s with surrealist groups active from Prague and Belgrade to Copenhagen and Japan. Born antiimperialist, antiracist, and antinationalist, surrealism represented both a political and aesthetical position in which smaller countries from Central and Eastern Europe found a means to renew their own national literatures by establishing a dialogue with the cultural centers like Paris. In this talk, I examine the unexpected circulation of surrealist ideas in the work of the strongest Romanian contemporary writer, a contender for the Nobel in recent years, Mircea Ca˘rta˘rescu. “Reality can be read as a cryptogram,” wrote Breton in Nadja in 1928. Reborn six decades later in Ca˘rta˘rescu’s world fiction, this surrealist idea came to encompass both an oneiric alphabet to fight back the imposed political reading of reality during Communism, and an aesthetic stance in the Post-Communist era, against a new version of realism that responded to the West’s expectations. In the process, Ca˘rta˘rescu gives striking new expression to Breton’s surrealist opposition to any kind of moral, political, and aesthetic oppression.
