A DOOR MUST BE OPEN OR CLOSED", MÉLUSINE, N° XXIII, 2003, PP. 9-11.


"Inside-Outside" attempts to understand the relationships that the surrealist group maintained with individuals who could be at its center or on its periphery. How indeed to understand the admonitions launched from inside and outside the movement? Why did some members leave the group, while others, on the contrary, were sensitive to its power of attraction? What is the very nature of the surrealist movement and its limits? It is no longer only a socio-historical question that arises in this work, but more generally an ethical as well as aesthetic problem, that of adherence to a surrealist morality and the artistic principles that derive from it.
