Artaud Antonin - Artaud and His Doubles

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Many colleagues and friends have been generous with their support on this project. I warmly thank, in particular, James Bierman, Michael Evenden, Patricia Gaborik, James Harding, Olivier Penot-Lacassagne, Kara Reilly, Cindy Rosenthal, and Mike Sell, all of whom took the time to read sections or drafts of the book and provide me with thoughtful feedback. I thank Brandin Barn, Kathy Foley, and David Marriott for timely contributions of references and perspectives from their areas of expertise. All these contributions were valuable, but I alone am responsible for the conclusions presented here, as well as any residual errors.

This work is happily indebted to the University of California, Santa Cruz, in many ways. Multiple grants from the Senate Committee on Research and the Arts Research Institute supported this project at crucial stages of its development. Many thanks to my research assistants, Nathaniel Bogie, Megan Fox, Emily Gift, and Sarah Kelly. Three chairs of the Theater Arts DepartmentDavid Cuthbert, Mark Franko, and Danny Scheieeach encouraged me to teach a seminar on Artaud, for which I thank them, as well as the students in those seminars, whose questions, ideas, reservations, and enthusiasms all pushed me forward. Thanks to Catherine Soussloff and the UCSC Visual and Performance Studies Colloquium and to Chris Connery and Gail Hershatter at the UCSC Cultural Studies Colloquium for inviting me to present portions of my research.

The staff of the Bibliothque Nationale and the Cinmathque Nationale (Paris) assisted me tremendously in accessing archival material and images.

The Comparative Drama Conference, the Twentieth/Twenty-First Century French and Francophone Studies International Conference, the International Federation for Theatre Research, and the American Society for Theater Research (ASTR) all provided invigorating environments in which to present portions of my research. I am especially grateful for discussions at ASTR with the participants in our many avant-garde seminars, as well as colleagues and friends, including Sarah Bay-Cheng, Michael Chemers, Shawn-Marie Garrett, Odai Johnson, Carol Martin, Cary Mazer, Joseph Roach, and several others already thanked here, with whom sharing research and ideas has been lively and gratifying. Also thanks to Elinor Fuchs, Marc Robinson, Gordon Rogoff, Catherine Sheehy, and especially James Leverett for encouraging my earliest investigations into Artaud's work.

I am indebted to everyone at the University of Michigan Press, especially LeAnn Fields and David Krasner for their support, and LeAnn for her unflagging generosity and perspicacity.

Three people were conspicuously valuable in this process. Blake Morris was a brilliantly talented research assistant (whose passion for Canetti was critically infectious), and I am glad he has yet to stop thinking with me about these ideas. Kathy Chetkovich's clear-sighted feedback on my writing was but part of her profoundly multifaceted support, for which I am inexpressibly thankful. Finally, Erik Butler has read more drafts, suggested more sources, listened to more ideas, and given me more encouragement and help during this process than could possibly be accounted for by any motivation other than love. For this, I can only thank him in kind.
