The Edge Of Surrealism: A Roger Caillois Reader,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The Edge of Surrealism is an essential introduction to the writing of French social theorist Roger Caillois. Caillois was part of the Surrealist avantgarde and in the 1930s founded the College of Sociology with Georges Bataille and Michel Leiris. He spent his life exploring issues raised by this famous group and by Surrealism itself. Though his subjects were diverse, Caillois focused on concerns crucial to modern intellectual life, and his essays offer a unique perspective on many of twentiethcentury Frances most significant intellectual movements and figures. Including a masterful introductory essay by Claudine Frank situating his work in the context of his life and intellectual milieu, this anthology is the first comprehensive introduction to Cailloiss work to appear in any language.These thirtytwo essays with commentaries strike a balance between Cailloiss political and theoretical writings and between his better known works, such as the popular essays on the praying mantis, myth, and mimicry, and his lesserknown pieces. Presenting several new pieces and drawing on interviews and unpublished correspondence, this book reveals Cailloiss consistent effort to reconcile intellectual rigor and imaginative adventure. Perhaps most importantly, The Edge of Surrealism provides an overdue look at how Cailloiss intellectual project intersected with the work of Georges Bataille and others including Breton, Bachelard, Benjamin, Lacan, and LviStrauss.
