Contemporary feminist critics have often described Surrealism as a misogynist movement. In 'Automatic Woman', Katharine Conley addresses this issue, confirming some feminist allegations while qualifying and overturning others. Through insightful analyses of works by a range of writers and artists, Conley develops a complex view of Surrealist portrayals of Woman. Conley begins with a discussion of the composite image of Woman developed by such early male Surrealists as Andre; Breton, Francis Picabia, and Paul Eluard. She labels that image & Automatic Woman& & a term that comprises views of Woman as provocative and revolutionary but also as a depersonalized object largely devoid of individuality and volition. This analysis largely confirms feminist critiques of Surrealism. The heart of the book, however, examines the writings of Leonora Carrington and Unica Zrn, two women in the Surrealist movement whose works, Conley argues, anticipate much contemporary feminist art and theory. In concluding, Conley shows how Breton's own views on women evolved in the course of his long career, arriving at last at a position far more congenial to contemporary feminists. 'Automatic Woman' is distinguished by Katharine Conley's judicious understanding of how women& and the image of Woman& figured in Surrealism. The book is an important contemporary account of a cultural movement that continues to fascinate, influence, and provoke us.

La femme sauvage est une figure qui hante les arts et les lettres, du Moyen Age au monde contemporain. Marquée par l'altérité, la femme sauvage est souvent marginalisée. Parfois valorisée, quand elle promet un Age d'or ou un paradis idyllique, fréquemment inquiétante quand elle met en cause les normes qui émanent souvent d'autorités masculines, tantôt anti-femme, exception, monstre, tantôt femme essentielle, elle connaît des infléchissements notables, avec le christianisme et la redistribution des genres qu'il suppose, la découverte de l'Amérique et des " Indiens ", les Lumières et leur questionnement sur la classification des espèces, le XIXe siècle, son exaltation, mais aussi son questionnement du progrès et de la civilisation, le XXe siècle et l'époque actuelle, avec le féminisme, la psychanalyse mais aussi l'écologie (qui redessine les contours du monde sauvage).

"During the Middle Ages, the arresting motif of the walled garden - especially in its manifestation as a sacred or love-inflected hortus conclusus - was a common literary device. Usually associated with the Virgin Mary or the Lady of popular romance, it appeared in myriad literary and iconographic forms, largely for its aesthetic, decorative and symbolic qualities.This study focuses on the more complex metaphysical functions and meanings attached to it between 1100 and 1400 - and, in particular, those associated with the gardens of Eden and the Song of Songs. Drawing on contemporary theories of gender, gardens, landscape and space, it traces specifically the resurfacing and reworking of the idea and image of the enclosed garden within the writings of medieval holy women and other female-coded texts. In so doing, it presents the enclosed garden as generator of a powerfully gendered hermeneutic imprint within the medieval religious imaginary - indeed, as an alternative "language" used to articulate those highly complex female-coded approaches to God that came to dominate late-medieval religiosity.The book also responds to the "eco-turn" in our own troubled times that attempts to return the non-human to the centre of public and private discourse. The texts under scrutiny therefore invite responses as both literary and "garden" spaces where form often reflects content, and where their authors are also diligent "gardeners": the apocryphal Lives of Adam and Eve, for example; the horticulturally-inflected Hortus Deliciarum of Herrad of Hohenburg and the "green" philosophies of Hildegard of Bingen's Scivias; the visionary writings of Gertrude the Great and Mechthild of Hackeborn collaborating within their Helfta nunnery; the Middle English poem, Pearl; and multiple reworkings of the deeply problematic and increasingly sexualized garden enclosing the biblical figure of Susanna."
