During the last ten years, surrealism has been obliged to defend itself almost unceasingly against deviations to the right and to the left. On the one hand we have had to struggle against the will of those who would maintain surrealism on a purely speculative level and treasonably transfer it onto an artistic and literary plane (Artaud, Desnos, Ribemont-Dessaignes, Vitrac) at the cost of all the hope for subversion we have placed in it; on the other, against the will of those who would place it on a purely practical basis, susceptible at any moment to being sacrificed to an ill-conceived political militancy (Naville, Aragon) – at the cost, this time, of what constitutes the originality and reality of its researches; at the cost of the autonomous risk that it has to run.

超现实主义、现代主义、分歧

在过去的十年中，超现实主义不得不几乎不断地为自己辩护，反对向右和向左的偏差。一方面，我们不得不与那些将超现实主义保持在纯粹投机的层面上并叛国地将其转移到艺术和文学层面（阿尔托、德斯诺斯、里贝蒙-德赛涅、维特拉克）的人的意志作斗争，代价是所有的我们寄予了颠覆的希望；另一方面，违背那些将其置于纯粹实践基础上的人的意愿，随时可能被牺牲为一个构思不周的政治战斗（纳维尔，阿拉贡）——这一次，以什么构成了研究的原创性和现实性；以它必须运行的自主风险为代价。
