Communism, Surrealism, and Sexuality and the Non
Communism
Revolutionary socialist movement to create a classless,
moneyless, and
statelesssocial orderstructured upon common ownership of the
means ofproduction, as well as a social, political and economic
ideology that aims at
the establishment of this social order. This movement, in its
Marxist-Leninist
interpretations, significantly influenced the history of the
20th century, which
saw intense rivalry between the "socialist world" (socialist
states ruled by
Communist parties) and the "western world" (countries with
market
economies).
Surrealism
Developed out of the Dada activities during World War I and the
most
important center of the movement was Paris. From the 1920s
onward, the
movement spread around the globe, eventually affecting the
visual arts,
literature, film, and music of many countries and languages, as
well as political
thought and practice, philosophy, and social theory.
Surrealist works feature the element of surprise, unexpected
juxtapositions
and non sequitur; however, many Surrealist artists and writers
regard their
work as an expression of the philosophical movement first and
foremost, with
the works being an artifact. Leader Andr Breton was explicit in
his assertion
that Surrealism was above all a revolutionary movement.
American Modernism
A trend of thought that affirms the power of human beings to
create, improve,
and reshape their environment, with the aid of scientific
knowledge,
technology and practical experimentation, and is thus in its
essence both
progressive and optimistic. The idea that individual human
beings can define
themselves through their own inner resources and create their
own vision of
existence without help from family, fellow citizens, or
tradition is a large trend.
The general term covers many political, cultural and artistic
movements
rooted in the changes in Western society at the end of the 19th
and beginning
of the 20th century. American modernism is an artistic and
cultural movement
in the United States starting at the turn of the 20th century
with its core period
between World War I and World War II and continuing into the
21st century
