Taking its title from André Breton's essay \"Arcane 17,\" which casts the star as the searing firebrand of rebellion, Löwy's provocative work spans many perspectives. These include surrealist artists who were deeply interested in Marxism and anarchism (Breton among them), as well as Marxists who were deeply interested in surrealism (Walter Benjamin in particular). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Probing the dialectics of innovation, diversity, continuity, and unity throughout surrealism's international presence, \u003ci\u003eMorning Star\u003c\/i\u003e also incorporates analyses of Claude Cahun, Guy Debord, Pierre Naville, José Carlos Mariátegui and others, accompanied by numerous reproductions of surrealist art. An extraordinarily rich collection, \u003ci\u003eMorning Star\u003c\/i\u003e promises to ignite new dialogues regarding the very nature of dissent. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Löwy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0292723571\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292723573\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.41d","brand":"Michael Löwy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995508343039,"sku":"9780292723573","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_078f426a-02e8-4a09-adb3-c54a6cb7aebc.jpg?v=1683336216","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/morning-star-michael-lwy-9780292723573","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
