Marcuse e Adorno di fronte al surrealismo

Between Marcuse and Adorno there is not an explicit confrontation on Surreal-ism, but we rather find different interpretations within the discourse, respectively, of a positive utopia or a negative philosophy. Starting from the object of reference, the discourses are arranged on separate levels: one considers Surrealism for its impact as a cultural movement, while the oth-er is more concerned with the works produced by Surrealists. Therefore, Surrelism is considered either in terms of imagination, whose rights are ploclaimed, or in terms of reification, whose representation is provided.
