Abstract
This article explores the reading community in surrealism. Surrealism, an inherently verbal and literary movement, devotes special attention to reading: quotes and allusions, the “lives” of poets play a key role in the surrealistic works. However, the ideology of surrealism is constantly changing, becoming more complicated, undergoing theoretical evolution, and the movement itself, after verbal practices, turns first to visual and then to hybrid forms of interaction. The increasing complexity of the theory leads to the formation of a special “prepared” “reader” whose perception is cultivated by surrealistic techniques. The key here is the development of special sensitivity — a kind of hybrid perception of reality, due to the complexity of the surrealist theory. The opposition of the author / reader is being gradually destroyed by surrealists, and the community of surrealists and their readers takes on the form of an interpreting community (S. Fish).
