Antonin Artaud en México. Lucha por la hegemonía cultural, entre la razón y la locura

Abstract

This text discusses the problem of the effects of rational foundation thinking on identity and culture, as well as the struggle for hegemony that derives from the conditions that reason imposes, in order to question the boundaries between thought, culture and reason. In order to do so, I analyze the particular case of Antonin Artaud’s trip to Mexico in 1936, through the concepts of the discussion developed by Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida and Slavoj Žižek on the relationships between thought and madness.
