Bachelard en vacances: The Subject of Surrationalism and Its Functional Value

Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of the subject in Bachelard’s concept of surrationalism. Focusing on the epistemological character of surrational creativity, the issue of the subject is approached through the analysis of the relationship between subjectivity and objectivity in the surrational act. Comparing the character of novelty in surrealism and surrationalism, the paper introduces Bachelard’s distinction between formal and material imagination, with the latter further discussed through the prepositions “against” [contre] and “in” [dans]. Bachelard’s theory of the internal dialectic – the theory of subdivision of the subject – is analyzed through his concept of reverie. The last chapter deals with the dialectic between the apodictic and the assertoric subject, aiming to reconsider the idea of interiority and repose.

Rad se bavi problemom subjekta unutar Bašlarovog koncepta nadracionalizma. Fokusirajući se na epistemološki karakter nadracionalne kreativnosti, pitanju subjekta se pristupa kroz analizu odnosa subjektivnosti i objektivnosti u činu nadracionalizma. Sa ciljem poređenja karaktera novog u nadrealizmu i nadracionalizmu, pristupljeno je analizi Bašlarove distinkcije između formalne i materijalne imaginacije, čiji se dijalektički karakter dalje razmatra kroz predloge „protiv“ [contre] i „u“ [dans]. Takođe, Bašlarova teorija unutrašnje dijalektike – teorija podele subjekta – analizira se kroz njegov koncept sanjarije. U poslednjem poglavlju se ovaj problem analizira unutar dijalektike između apodiktičkog i asertoričkog subjekta, sa namerom da se preispita ideja unutrašnjosti i počinka.
