Activesince 2009, the series aims to build on the most incisiverecent research on Surrealism in academic writing andexhibition display. Books published so far in the serieshave expanded and added to Surrealism’s various linesof inquiry, examining Surrealism’s intersections withphilosophical, social, artistic, and literary themes.Whilst it wishes to extend recent studies of the movementthat have rethought established areas of Surrealist activityand engagement, including those of politics, paintingand the object, photography, word and image, theatre,crime, science, comics, and science fiction, the serieslooks particularly to commission work that revises ourunderstanding of individual artists and writers within andclose to the movement. Ambitious revisionist accounts ofSurrealism in Europe and the Americas and those that seekout new thematic areas of inquiry are especially welcome.Proposals are requested for both monographs and essaycollections on themes, artists, and writers who have beengenerally overlooked by English-language scholarship.Consuming Surrealismin American CultureDissident <strong>Modern</strong>ismSandra Zalman, University of Houston, USAUnlike accounts that focus on 1940s Surrealism in theU.S. as a point of departure for the ascendance of the NewYork School, this study contends that Surrealism has beenintegral to the development of American visual culture overthe course of the twentieth century. Through analysis ofSurrealism in the museum and the marketplace, SandraZalman tackles Surrealism’s multi-faceted circulation asboth elite and popular, and argues that Surrealism worked asa powerful agitator to disrupt dominant ideas of modern art.Includes 10 colour and 40 b&w illustrationsDecember <strong>2015</strong> 230 pagesHardback 978-1-4724-6175-9 £65.00 $109.95www.ashgate.com/isbn/9781472461759Cover illustration:Fallout, Tom Hammick, <strong>2015</strong>.Etching and aquatint triptych.From the special edition of TomHammick: Wall, Window, World byJulian Bell (Lund Humphries, <strong>2015</strong>).
