Dadaism and surrealism in american literature

Conclusion
Dadaism and Surrealism are both dominant art movements of the early 20th century, which had a profound influence on the art, culture, literature and philosophy in subsequent decades. Dadaism is somewhat complex as its beliefs include no beliefs, no truths, and no rules. It’s all about demolishing the boundaries of art and celebrating meaninglessness and absurdity. On the other hand, surrealism is an artistic expedition into the subconscious, unconscious, reality and the unseen bridge that exists between them. Dada is so well represented by Duchamp’s urinal while Surrealists ravel in Buñuel and Dali’s dreamy imagery. In short, Dada can be defined by the artistic tradition that draws its sustenance from anti-art, dry humor, absurdity, and chance. Surrealism involves Sigmund Freud, the unconscious, and dreams.
American literature is literature written or produced in the United States of America and its preceding colonies (for specific discussions of poetry and theater, see Poetry of the United States and Theater in the United States). Before the founding of the United States, the British colonies on the eastern coast of the present-day United States were heavily influenced by English literature. The American literary tradition thus began as part of the broader tradition of English literature. The revolutionary period is notable for the political writings of Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Paine. Thomas Jefferson's United States Declaration of Independence solidified his status as a key American writer.
American literature is the written or literary work produced in the area of the United States and its preceding colonies. For more specific discussions of poetry and theater, see Poetry of the United States and Theater in the United States. During its early history, America was a series of British colonies on the eastern coast of the present-day United States. Therefore, its literary tradition begins as linked to the broader tradition of English literature. However, unique American characteristics and the breadth of its production usually now cause it to be considered a separate path and tradition.
