Although surrealism always sought to distinguish itself from other movements and ideologies, its members often celebrated their commonality with many \"others\" outside of the official group with whom they shared their passions: Marxists, visual artists, filmmakers, psychiatrists, and ethnographers.\u003cbr\u003eEach of the writers, artists, and thinkers examined here were either temporarily associated with surrealism or were influenced by its collective and open spirit, even if in a primarily opposing or questioning role. In some cases, this outside perspective came from as close as Belgium and other European countries. In other cases, it came from farther away - from North Africa or North America - which reveals surrealism's engagement with non-European, formerly colonized cultures, reflects its staunchly anti-colonial stance, and confirms the movement as something more than an aesthetic phenomenon. Along with its aesthetic mission, surrealism was also, and perhaps more importantly, a powerful political and social reality. This issue examines works by artists, writers, and theorists who were all, in their own ways, located outside of yet close to surrealism and who provide us with a new perspective on this avant-garde and modernist movement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMartine Antle \u003ci\u003eSurrealism and the Orient\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdam Jolles \u003ci\u003eThe Tactile Turn: Envisioning a Post-Colonial Aesthetic in France\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJonathan P.
