Artaud and His Doublesis a radical re-thinking of one of the most influential theater figures of the twentieth century. Placing Artaud's writing within the specific context of European political, ...theatrical, and intellectual history, the book reveals Artaud's affinities with a disturbing array of anti-intellectual and reactionary writers and artists whose ranks swelled catastrophically between the wars in Western Europe.
Kimberly Jannarone shows that Artaud's work reveals two sets of doubles: one, a body of peculiarly persistent received interpretations from the American experimental theater and French post-structuralist readings of the 1960s; and, two, a darker set of doubles---those of Artaud's contemporaries who, in the tumultuous, alienated, and pessimistic atmosphere enveloping much of Europe after World War I, denounced the degradation of civilization, yearned for cosmic purification, and called for an ecstatic loss of the self.Artaud and His Doubleswill generate provocative new discussions about Artaud and fundamentally challenge the way we look at his work and ideas.
The article presents a reflection on the cinema of cruelty in the work of Antonin Artaud (1896-1948). For this, we proceeded with the analysis of his productions focused on cinema, as well as with a ...dialogue that appeals to some of his commentators. Among the results, there is the idea that the notion of cruelty can be extended to cinema as an original experience of thought experimentation elaborated through images and closely related to the author's own life.
The definitive guide to the life and work of Antonin Artaud Antonin Artaud's theatre of cruelty is one of the most vital forces in world theatre, yet the concept is one of the most frequently ...misunderstood. In this incisive study, Albert Bermel looks closely at Artaud's work as a playwright, director, actor, designer, producer and critic, and provides a fresh insight into his ideas, innovations and, above all, his writings. Tracing the theatre of cruelty's origins in earlier dramatic conventions, tribal rituals of cleansing, transfiguration and exaltation, and in related arts such as film and dance, Bermel examines each of Artaud's six plays for form and meaning, as well as surveying the application of Artaud's theories and techniques to the international theatre of recent years.

En 1936, el dramaturgo y actor francés Antonin Artaud viajó a México, impulsado por la insatisfacción con el pensamiento abstracto y la racionalidad europea. El encuentro con los tarahumaras, ...comunidad indígena de la Sierra Madre Occidental, será el evento central de su periplo. Pero no se trata de la expedición científica de un naturalista o antropólogo, que aporta conocimientos sobre la naturaleza y los nativos. Por el contrario, el viajero es un surrealista en busca de una verdad mística. Este artículo propone analizar la búsqueda de una misteriosa y antigua entidad, el peyote, y el lugar del saber ancestral en el relato de Artaud. Se examina el clima intelectual de la época, el legado posterior de Artaud y el vínculo con el concepto de lo real maravilloso de Alejo Carpentier. A modo de conclusión, haremos una comparación entre el “viaje al país de los tarahumaras” y otros rituales con plantas poderosas, presentando nuestras experiencias personales en rituales neo-chamánicos.
Artaud the Moma Derrida, Jacques; Cabañas, Kaira M; Kamuf, Peggy

In 1996 Jacques Derrida gave a lecture at the Museum of Modern Art in New York on the occasion ofAntonin Artaud: Works on Paper, one of the first major international exhibitions to present the ...avant-garde dramatist and poet's paintings and drawings. Derrida's original title, "Artaud the Moma," is a characteristic play on words. It alludes to Artaud's calling himself Mômo, Marseilles slang for "fool," upon his return to Paris in 1946 after nine years in various asylums, while playing off of the museum's nickname, MoMA. But the title was not deemed "presentable or decent," in Derrida's words, by the very institution that chose to exhibit Artaud's work. Instead, the lecture was advertised as "Jacques Derrida . . . will present a lecture about Artaud's drawings."For Derrida, what was at stake was what it meant for the museum to exhibit Artaud's drawings and for him to lecture on Artaud in that institutional context. Thinking over the performative force of Artaud's work and the relation between writing and drawing, Derrida addresses the multiplicity of Artaud's identities to confront the modernist museum's valorizing of originality. He channels Artaud's specter, speech, and struggle against representation to attempt to hold the museum accountable for trying to confine Artaud within its categories.Artaud the Moma, as lecture and text, reveals the challenge that Artaud posed to Derrida-and to art and its institutional history. A powerful interjection into the museum halls, this work is a crucial moment in Derrida's thought and an insightful, unsparing reading of a challenging writer and artist.

Este artigo parte da pandemia por COVID-19, no Brasil de 2020, para propor uma reflexão que coadune conceitos como o de Necropolítica, Crise e Biopoder com o pensamento anár-quico de Antonin Artaud, ...figura-chave para os estudos teatrais, de modo a propor linhas de fuga ao momento atual, tentando pensar para além da crise. Articula-se aqui referências importantes do pensamento contemporâneo sobre a situação pandêmica com as inquietações que nos assolam enquan-to artistas e pesquisadores do Aporia - Grupo de pesquisas em Filosofia e Performance, discutidas virtualmente ao longo dos meses de isolamento social ocasionados pela pandemia.
Resumo: o presente artigo busca analisar as implicações do pensamento da crueldade em Artaud e Freud para a psicanálise. Para isso, recorre ao filósofo Jacques Derrida, que as pensou, sobretudo, no ...campo da ética e da prática psicanalítica. A crueldade impõe ainda uma revisão do conceito de sujeito – sobre a qual nos deteremos, que já havia sido posta em marcha por Derrida desde 1967, em Freud e a cena da escritura. Em seguida, abordaremos o conceito de incondicionalidade formulado por Derrida, como um novo horizonte para a compreensão do sujeito e para a prática ético-política e social da psicanálise.

Resumo Este ensaio apresenta aspectos da experiência de escrita de Artaud a partir de alguns de seus primeiros textos - O umbigo dos limbos e O Pesa-Nervos -, lidos em companhia da teoria dos sonhos ...de Freud, da noção de escrita em Lacan e dos conceitos de “ausência de livro” e “ausência de obra” de Blanchot. Paralelamente, formula-se um operador de leitura para a obra do escritor, derivado de aproximações e diferenciações entre literatura e psicanálise: o umbigo da escrita.
Abstract This essay presents aspects of Artaud's writing experience, based on some of his first texts - “Umbilical Limbo” and “Nerve Scales” -, read together with Freud's theory of dreams, the notion of writing in Lacan and the concepts of “absence of the book” and “absence of the work” in Blanchot. At the same time, a reading operator is formulated for the writer's work, derived from similarities and differences between literature and psychoanalysis: the navel of the writing.
Résumé Cet essai présente des aspects de l'expérience d'écriture d'Artaud à partir de certains de ses premiers textes - « L’ombilic des limbes » et « Le Pèse-Nerfs » -, lus à la lumière de la théorie freudienne du rêve, la notion d'écriture chez Lacan et la notion d'« absence de livre » et d'« absence de travail » chez Blanchot. Dans le même temps, un opérateur de lecture est formulé pour le travail de l'écrivain, dérivé des similitudes et des différences entre la littérature et la psychanalyse : l’ombilic de l'écriture.
