I want to intersect avant gardism, specifically the surrealist movement, with bourgeois form. I want to focus on Un Chien Andalou in developing my thesis, its avant gardist approaches to narrative and whatnot. I will specifically need to address its conception between Bunuel and Dali in comparison to its reception with the general public and the artistic community. Within the artistic community I will have to differentiate between the aestheticist and the avant gardist critical receptions. My argument will focus on the dream logic of the surrealists and their goals in subverting not only divisions between aspects of bourgeois culture but also in their contribution to developing new aesthetics in post-modernist artwork.
I will rely heavily on the surrealist manifestoes to hash out my thesis. There will be some overlap with avant garde sublation of art as I will continually refer back to bourgeois praxis of life and its relation to art. There are specific moments of unique editing in Un Chien Andalou, and I will mention them in relation to Bunuel and Dali's writings.
