Le Surréalisme : Définition, Principes et Techniques

Written on in English with a size of 2.25 KB

Le surréalisme

C'est une combinaison entre la psychanalyse et le dadaïsme.

C'est un mouvement littéraire et artistique né après la Première Guerre mondiale.

Le mouvement repose sur le refus de toutes les constructions logiques de l'esprit et sur les valeurs de l'irrationnel, de l'absurde, du rêve, du désir et de la révolte.

Il s'agit d'une nouvelle manière de se révolter contre la pensée. C'est la notion selon laquelle l'inconscient existe et renferme tout ce que nous refoulons.

Pour André Breton, il s'agit d'un automatisme psychique pur par lequel on se propose d'... Continue reading "Le Surréalisme : Définition, Principes et Techniques" »

Studying Abroad: Benefits and Drawbacks

Most students are tired of routine and want to continue studying, but in other places. Therefore, studying abroad could be a way to break the routine for many students and learn new things. Are there more advantages than disadvantages to studying abroad?
