The year 2024 celebrates 100 years of surrealism, and its periodicals emerge as a potential object of study to establish connections with contemporary challenges. From literary essays to collage and photomontage, surrealists employed innovative techniques to engage the reader. The main research question of the project is: What do surrealist periodicals, in both content and editorial practices, teach us about contemporary issues and the circulation of art? Students will choose a specific publication for developing their own archive research. The seminar will include roundtables, counselling sessions, conferences by experts, museum visits, and a small exercise in fanzine creation. At the end, students should prepare a short essay to publish in the course fanzine. Previous knowledge of the subject is not required; only basic research skills and creativity. The seminar aims to improve skills for managing sources and analysing material related to art history or visual arts.
