Now, John C. Stout?s highly original study installs Artaud as a writer and theorist of biography. In Alternate Genealogies Stout analyzes two separate but interrelated preoccupations central to Artaud?s work: the self-portrait and the family romance. He shows how Artaud, in several important but relatively neglected texts, rewrites the life stories of historical and literary figures with whom he identifies (for example, Paolo Ucello, Abelard, Van Gogh and Shelley?s Francesco Cenci) in an attempt to reinvent himself through the image, or life, of another. Throughout the book Stout focusses on Artaud?s struggles to recover the sense of self that eludes him and to master the reproductive process by recreating the family in ? and as ? his own fantasies of it. With this research John C. Stout has added considerably to our understanding of Artaud. His book will be much appreciated by theatre scholars, Artaud specialists, Freudians, Lacanians and both theorists and practitioners of life writing. 517 3 $aAlternate genealogies 606 $aFrench literature 615 0$aFrench literature. 676 $a848/.91209 700 $aStout$b John Cameron$0176079 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824358003321 996 $aAntonin Artaud's alternate genealogies$93969644 997 $aUNINA
