Like many others, I first saw Artaud through the filters of American experimental theater and post-structuralism. My earliest work on Artaud began from accepted familiar premises, largely established in the 1960's: Artaud as prophet, madman, genius, was the thing to study; his significance lay in his status as an inspirational figure manifesting a largely a historical impulse; his denunciation of civilization's discontents implied a progressive critique. My research led me in different directions, however. Fueled by a desire to really read Artaud's works closely especially his early writing and his productions--I dug into the archives to research Artaud's theatrical practice. 410 0$aTheater--text/theory/performance. 606 $aCruelty in literature 606 $aDrama$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $aExperimental theater$zFrance$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCruelty in literature. 615 0$aDrama$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aExperimental theater$xHistory 676 $a848/.91209 700 $aJannarone$b Kimberly$01026902 712 02$aMichigan Publishing (University of Michigan) 801 0$bMiU 801 1$bMiU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452808303321 996 $aArtaud and his doubles$92442061 997 $aUNINA
