This book presents important new research on Surrealism and the culture from which
it arose. Offering fresh interpretations of Surrealist art and literature based around
the theme of simulation, the book shows, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries, that the notion of simulation arose in a number of discrete contexts, in
relation to hysteria and war neuroses ; more broadly it shadows the emergence of our
concept of 'the unconscious'. Acknowledging simulation's relevance to Surrealism,
this book argues, radically alters our understanding of the Surrealists' project and
the terms in which one gauges its success or failure. It leads one to question the
naïve assumption that automatic writing or drawing represent an authentic outpouring
of the unconscious and gives renewed significance to a figure such as Salvador Dalí
who embraced simulation and made it the basis of his art and aesthetic. Resonances
are also explored with postmodern theory and art practice, around the themes of simulation
and the simulacrum
