Provoked by Anselm Jappe and Eduardo Subiratis’ criticism of Surrealism, in which these authors suggest an identification of this vanguard movement with the process of bourgeois modernization, the article proposes to show that the social critique of the present and the historical critique of the past are inseparable in André Breton and his Surrealist comrades. To this end, it presents and explains the concepts that are woven into the Surrealist conception, such as desire, imagination, and historical creation.
