Surrealism: Delirium Hermeneutics

Abstract

Surrealism may has been one of the most important cultural and intellectuel phenomena that arose in Europe at the beginning of the last twentieth century, but this phenomenon, although its birth came as a result of the gray and pessimistic space that followed the  World War I, and the resulting social, psychological, and intellectual disasters, but it took a paradoxical course in the practice of its protest to the extent that it took it in delirium.Unfamiliar art and intellectual theorizing was the distinguishing feature of those affiliate to the Syriac doctrine, except that this difference in performance and methods of thinking generated widespread controversy in European environments, especially in France, Germany, and Spain to the extent that texts and artworks of the Surrealists became a fertile field for interpretation.This study sheds a light on surrealism as a hermeneutic phenomenon that characterized modern society in its discontent and pessimistic way, but it will be finished in deaf nihilism and the denial of moral and religious values.
