Le surréalisme entre efféminement et virilisation (1924-1933)

Abstract

This article focuses on both the way surrealists consider women and women poets and artists, and the way they practice what can be qualified as feminine literary genres and lyricism. Their extreme ambivalence concerning women results from what they perceive as a risk of feminisation in a period, after World War I, where the model of military attitude remains very strong.
