  abstract     = {For the 1939 World{\textquoteright}s Fair in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, New York, Salvador Dal{\'i} created a surrealist funhouse called Dream of Venus. This installation, which included sound and performance, aimed at a controversial sensation, a truly surreal experience for its visitors. Labelled as {\textquotedblleft}tacky, Oceanside amusement park attraction{\textquotedblright} and wrapped up by consumer commodity, however, Dal{\'i}{\textquoteright}s surrealist funhouse is been said to have lost much of its provocative power. This contribution investigates to what extent the avant-garde aesthetics and politics became part and parcel of American consumer culture, commodity culture and capitalism. Gilles Deleuze{\textquoteright}s and F{\'e}lix Guattari{\textquoteright}s poststructuralist analysis of the axiomatic regime of capitalism and their view on madness provides a toolbox for taking a closer look at surrealist (vain?) efforts to combat capitalist dominion.},
