By analysing the concrete example of an article published in the journal “Synergies Canada” n°3 (2011), which is representative of a bigger range affecting the historiography of Surrealism, this paper aims to give a contribution in the demystification of ontological (and therefore ideological) approaches reducing the accuracy and the seriousness of “scientific” appraisals of Surrealism, mainly when they prefer to follow less the facts and the documents than the metaphysical chattering, or even the slanders issued from enemies of the surrealist movement. The false image of Surrealism which derives from such methods will be discussed in three sections showing the deficiencies and the distortions of this very article from a historical, ontological and documentary point of view.

Abstract
By analysing the concrete example of an article published in the journal “Synergies Canada” n°3 (2011), which is representative of a bigger range affecting the historiography of Surrealism, this paper aims to give a contribution in the demystification of ontological (and therefore ideological) approaches reducing the accuracy and the seriousness of “scientific” appraisals of Surrealism, mainly when they prefer to follow less the facts and the documents than the metaphysical chattering, or even the slanders issued from enemies of the surrealist movement. The false image of Surrealism which derives from such methods will be discussed in three sections showing the deficiencies and the distortions of this very article from a historical, ontological and documentary point of view.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
