"Lacan says that the hysteric is a question raised to the medical
establishment: Artaud is nothing but the question itself and it's a
question raised to art, to theatre, and to society. The question
itself cannot be defined because it's the function of the question
that's important." (Sylvere Lotringer).
"100 Years of Cruelty" brings together responses to the Artaud
question from some of the leading contemporary scholars working in
the humanities today. The essays cover a wide variety of topics in
opening the Artaud question to the disciplines -- and the
demarcations upon which so much knowledge and art practice is
defined. They are intended as an affront to conservative thought,
as an attack on clinical reason and as an open challenge to the
corporate university.
