The International Cultural Center of Cerisy organizes, from Monday, June 30 (7 p.m.) to Thursday, July 10 (2 p.m.) 2003 a decade: ANTONIN ARTAUD. OPEN QUESTIONS, under the direction of Olivier PENOT-LACASSAGNE
Fabula announcement: https://www.fabula.org/revue/document6675.php
Artaud's work is a work engaged in the trial of "European modernity." This colloquium will be an opportunity to identify its discursive, poetic and political trajectories, to inventory its points of fixation, rupture or explosion, to analyze the complex evolution of Artaud's thought without arbitrarily interrupting its movement.
The critical gesture that this supposes is not indifferent, always threatened by timid or partisan retreats. Not only does it require reading all of Artaud, thus rejecting abusive cuttings and the fragmentation of his writings, but it also demands the suspension of critical and clinical a prioris. We will therefore not exclude any of the postures, any of the paths that traverse this work.
Some, widely debated (the theatrical, the religious, the mythical, writing practices, speculative imagination), will be the occasion for new analyses; others, still little studied, will be questioned (proper name and signature; community and secret; Christian determination of the flesh and deconstruction of Christianity; suffering and remuneration; temptation of knowledge and renunciation; abjection and fecal matter; metaphysics, pataphysics and atheism; writing and drawing...).
