If André Breton expressed dislike for the term “surreal,” it’s an interesting proposition to replace it with “अवस्थान्तरे” (avasthāntare), which means “between states” in Sanskrit. This change would bring a different cultural and linguistic perspective to the concept, emphasizing the liminal and transitional nature of surrealist art and thought.
So, instead of referring to his movement as surrealism, André Breton might have coined a term like “avasthāntareism” to capture the idea of exploring the spaces between conventional realities and delving into the realms of the subconscious and imagination.
