Louis Aragon鈥檚鈥淔ront Rouge鈥�: Revolution between Accident and Occasion

Discusses Aragon鈥檚 poem, 鈥淔ront Rouge鈥� of 1931, the publication of which led to criminal charges being filed against him. I analyse Andr茅 Breton鈥檚 defence of Aragon in several texts in what amounts to a proclamation of the right to completely free expression in the arts, and why many writers and artists, including Aragon himself, rejected Breton鈥檚 logic. Through this optic, I examine certain recurring questions and problems pertaining to 鈥減olitical鈥� literature, as well as the deeper conceptual issues that inevitably arise in any attempt to police the expression of ideas.
