FERRERO CANDENAS, Inés. México y el surrealismo: la dimensión etnográfica. Valenciana [online]. 2013, vol.6, n.12, pp.113-126. ISSN 2007-2538.

This study explores one specific aspect of the relationship between Mexico and Surrealism: its ethnographic dimension. Within this context, I would like to explore the ways in which non-western sources were treated by artists and thinkers linked to surrealism in its different phases. Focusing particularly in Mexico, I will consider the ways in which anthropological contact with prehispanic cultures led to a critical reconstruction of otherness and the so called primitivism between European avant-garde.

Keywords : México and Surrealism; Transatlantic dialogue; Mexican Art; Ethnographic Surrealism.
