{"product_id":"antonin-artaud-and-the-healing-joeri-visser-9781501372322","title":"Antonin Artaud and the Healing Practices of Language: How Life Matters in Artaud's Later Writings","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Joeri Visser guides us through the years in which Artaud suffered increasingly from mental instability and considered the act of writing his only means of survival. In doing so, Visser unfolds a literary and a philosophical analysis of how language and life work together and how a creative play with language can help us to reengage sustainably with the joyous as well as the terrible forces of life.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joeri Visser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501372327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501372322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Joeri Visser","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44127295602943,"sku":"9781501372322","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6f22685b-f454-48f1-b658-601a4f0b7788.jpg?v=1687452830","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/antonin-artaud-and-the-healing-joeri-visser-9781501372322","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
