As we've been looking "out" at the Commons this quarter, especially when discussing artistic ideas and collage, so I'd like to end looking "in" at the ideas behind the original surrealism movement as it found itself in the 1920s.


 * Surrealism's relationship to the Enlightenment, and to Dadaism.
 * The first surrealist manifesto by Andre Breton. Shout out to Freud.
 * Games as related to the Surrealist enterprise: automatic writing and conditionals.
 * Un Chien Andalou dir. Bunuel.
 * Modern sleep research, especially with respect to the work of Stephen Laberge at Stanford.
