That determination led him to his most experimental and incendiary project, \u003ci\u003eTo Have Done with the Judgement of God\u003c\/i\u003e, 1947-48, in which he attempted to create a new language of texts, screams, and cacophonies: a language designed to be heard by millions, aimed, as Artaud said, for \"road-menders.\" In the broadcast, he interrogated corporeality and introduced the idea of the \"body without organs,\" crucial to the later work of Deleuze and Guattari. The broadcast, commissioned by the French national radio station, was banned shortly before its planned transmission, much to Artaud's fury. This volume collects all of the texts for \u003ci\u003eTo Have Done with the Judgement of God\u003c\/i\u003e, together with several of the letters Artaud wrote to friends and enemies in the short period between his work's censorship and his death. Also included is the text of an earlier broadcast from 1946, \u003ci\u003eMadness and Black Magic\u003c\/i\u003e, written as a manifesto prefiguring his subsequent broadcast. Clayton Eshleman's extraordinary translations of the broadcasts activate these works in their extreme provocation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAntonin Artaud\u003c\/b\u003e (1895-1948) was a French dramatist, poet, essayist, actor, and theater director, widely recognized as one of the major figures of twentieth-century theater and the European avant-garde. \u003cb\u003eStephen Barber \u003c\/b\u003eis professor at the Kingston School of Art, Kingston University, London, and a visiting research fellow at the Free University Berlin and Keio University Tokyo.
