Jacqueline Chnieux-Gendron, associate of Letters, member of the scientific committee of the andrebreton.fr site, focused a very long time, under the encouragement of Georges Blin, in the conceptual understanding of the surrealist movement, about which she has published more than a fortnight of books including Surrealism and the novel (in press: a reissue revised with the title Inventing the real, Editions Honor Champion) and Surrealism, translated into English, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese and Russian, book also in press, revised edition under the title the Spirit and the letter of Surrealism, and a thematic anthology, with presentation texts embedded: There will be one time (Gallimard, Folio/textes, n3674, 2004). She led the first team of the French university dedicated to the study of surrealism, and a collection of critical collective works, including several under her direct responsibility.

See also the Surrealism and the pleasure, Corti, 1987. Always attentive however the philological aspects of the texts, J.Ch-G focused on two concepts "overloaded" of sense ": the automatic writing and objective chance. About" objective chance ", see the exhibition catalog The Surrealist Revolution, ed Werner Spies, MNAM, G-Centre Pompidou 2002, which highlights some of the philosophies of language involved by different actors of the surrealism.
