Placing Artaud's writing within the specific context of European political, theatrical, and intellectual history, the book reveals Artaud's affinities with a disturbing array of anti-intellectual and reactionary writers and artists whose ranks swelled catastrophically between the wars in Western Europe. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKimberly Jannarone shows that Artaud's work reveals two sets of doubles: one, a body of peculiarly persistent received interpretations from the American experimental theater and French post-structuralist readings of the 1960s; and, two, a darker set of doubles--those of Artaud's contemporaries who, in the tumultuous, alienated, and pessimistic atmosphere enveloping much of Europe after World War I, denounced the degradation of civilization, yearned for cosmic purification, and called for an ecstatic loss of the self. \u003ci\u003eArtaud and His Doubles\u003c\/i\u003e will generate provocative new discussions about Artaud and fundamentally challenge the way we look at his work and ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kimberly Jannarone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 047211736X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472117369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/02\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2011","brand":"Kimberly Jannarone","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086706553087,"sku":"9780472117369","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2af4ef5b-2854-4f91-9d3b-2affa3bf52dc.jpg?v=1769096109","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/artaud-and-his-doubles-kimberly-jannarone-9780472117369","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
