Despite being one of the most influential artists and writers of the mid-20th Century, Antonin Artaud’s voice remains inadequately deciphered. Artaud’s Metamorphosis is the first book on the transformation from his ‘early’ to ‘late’ work, and it shows how the ‘final’ Artaud leads straight into our digital present. This Artaud will alter how you think of media, the virtual, the political, and thought itself.  

Founder of the Theatre of Cruelty and a strong influence on Peter Brook, Artaud dedicated his life and sanity to purging the French theatre of its enervating bourgeois tendencies. This book includes his major writings about theatre.

Il y a quelques mois, invitation est faite à Mehdi Belhaj Kacem de parler en public d'Antonin Artaud, auprès de Pierre Michon. Sous ce titre provocateur, Artaud et la théorie du complot, Mehdi Belhaj Kacem va droit à une question terrible : quelle est la malédiction qui, depuis Rousseau, a ravagé tout un pan de la littérature, et poussé écrivains, philosophes, poètes, au désespoir et à la folie ? Rousseau donc, mais aussi Kierkegaard, Hölderlin, et exemplairement Antonin Artaud.Le témoignage sidérant d'Artaud est au coeur de cette conférence. Au-delà, c'est à une interrogation sur le rôle de la littérature dans notre société qu'invite Mehdi Belhaj Kacem. Que peut-elle dire ? Que peut-elle être ? L'une des réponses se trouve dans l'oeuvre de l'auteur des Vies minuscules, Pierre Michon, autre figure de cet essai, dont Mehdi Belhaj Kacem offre une lecture bouleversante, qui fera date.La littérature comme ferveur et comme intensité, voilà ce qui a disparu des débats et des esprits depuis vingt ans, remplacée par les jeux de rôle de ce qu'on appelle «la vie littéraire». S'il y a un complot, n'est-ce pas aussi celui de cette disparition ? Artaud et la théorie du complot nous rappelle que toute littérature véritable est dangereuse, pour ceux qui l'écrivent, pour ceux qui la lisent.

Antonin Artaud (1896-1948) remains the most inspirational, provocative and challenging figure in world-wide contemporary culture. His trajectory extends from the Surrealist movement, to the Theatre of Cruelty, to the lunatic asylums of France, and finally back to Paris and the most astonishing period of his work.For the first time, the book gives a full and authoritative account of Artaud's film projects, and his conception of Surrealist cinema. It examines his unique series of drawings of the fragmented human body, begun in the ward of a lunatic asylum and finished in a state of furious liberation. Finally, the book captures Artaud's ultimate experiment with the screaming body in the form of his censored recording To Have Done With The Judgement Of God - an experiment which is unprecedented in the history of art, and which ultimately decimates that history.The Screaming Body is an essential resource and inspiration for those engaged in creating the definitive culture of our time, in film, art, music and writing.

A revolutionary figure in the literary avant-garde of his time, Antonin Artaud (1896-1948) is now seen to be central to the development of post-modernism. His writings comprise verse, prose poems, film scenarios, a historical novel, plays, essays on film, theater, art, and literature, and many letters. Susan Sontag's selection conveys the genius of this singular writer.

The extraordinary actor–director–writer who developed his talent for self-torture into art to become one of the most vital creative forces of the century.

Philosophical and biographical accounts of Antonin Artaud's late visual work, all reproduced in color.Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)―stage and film actor, director, writer, and visual artist―was a man of rage and genius. Expelled from the Surrealist movement for his refusal to renounce the theatre, he founded the Theater of Cruelty and wrote The Theater and Its Double, one of the key twentieth-century texts on the topic. Artaud spent nine years at the end of his life in asylums, undergoing electroshock treatments. Released to the care of his friends in 1946, he began to draw again.This book presents drawings and portraits from this late resurgence, all in color. Accompanying the images are texts by by Artaud's longtime friend and editor Paule Thévenin and the philosopher Jacques Derrida.“We won't be describing any paintings,” Derrida warns the reader. Derrida struggles with Artaud's peculiar language, punctuating his text with agitated footnotes and asides (asking at one point, “How will they translate this?”). Thévenin offers a more straightforward biographical and historical account. (It was on the walls of her apartment that Derrida first saw Artaud's paintings and drawings.) These two texts were previously published by the MIT Press in The Secret Art of Antonin Artaud without the artwork that is their subject. This book brings together art and text for the first time in English.

Antonin Artaud is one of the great cultural legends of the 20th century. His Theatre of Cruelty altered the course of modern theatre and his experiments with the Surrealist movement have proved inspirational throughout Europe and America. But Artaud's life was one of terrible failure and confrontation, an exploration of the extremes of agony and joy. At the end of a long series of journeys - both physical and spiritual - aimed at creating a magical culture of the human body, he was arrested and interned for nine years in a succession of French lunatic asylums, where he suffered starvation and was subjected to 50 electroshock treatments. This book is a faithful portrait of his life and work.

"Forget the orchestra/ conduct the pit!" National Book Award and PEN winning translator Clayton Eshleman commands, of both himself and his muses in a search for "the abyss, the recesses of the mind, the darkness of political domination, the gulf between worlds." Featuring the major forces behind the surrealist movement from around the world including Rimbaud, Pablo Neruda, Cesar Vallejo, Aime Cesaire, Andre Breton, Vladimir Holan and Antonin Artaud, his essential study brings these poets to a new generation of creative hearts. From Rimbaud’s obscure and harrowing "Drunken Boat" with its "very sea whose sobbing made my churning sweet" to Pablo Neruda’s "tongue of death looking for the dead,/the needles of death looking for the thread," Conductors of the Pit is unlike any poetry anthology of its kind. In this mesmerizing and fully annotated volume, the major works of experimental poetry that have shaped the modern age are at last available side by side, along with a historical and cultural overview by the editor.

Those who are mad like Antonin Artaud, are they just as mad as he was? Madness, like the plague, is contagious, and everyone, from his psychiatrists to his disciples, family, and critics, everyone who gets close to Artaud, seems to participate in his delirium. Sylvère Lotringer explores various embodiments of this shared delirium through what Artaud called “mental dramas”—a series of confrontations with his witnesses or “persecutors” where we uncover the raw delirium at work, even in Lotringer himself. Mad Like Artaud does not intend to add one more layer of commentary to the bitter controversies that have been surrounding the cursed poet’s work since his death in 1948, nor does it take sides among the different camps who are still haggling over his corpse. This book speaks of the site where “madness” itself is simmering.
