Antonin Artaud and the Healing Practices of Language: How Life Matters in Artaud's Later Writings

by Joeri Visser

Book Overview

The life of Antonin Artaud (1896-1948) was tormented by physical and mental illnesses. Already in his earlier works, Artaud tried to express his physical and mental suffering, but perceived, in describing his feelings, the obstructive and illness-inducing role of language. This is the first book written in English that analyses the role of a healing language with which Artaud engaged in his later writings.
