Big thanks to Ridge for sending me this wallet and supporting the channel! Here’s the site if you want to check them out! > ridge.com/BETTERTHANFOOD
The brothers karamazov when ???
This.
Up haha. currently reading this, and I'm blown away
9:58 As tragic and harrowing as his life had been, it’s touching to know that he had friends who truly cared about him.
Also, I did google Artaud and wow, he was incredible handsome.
Read "Heliogabalus" after watching your review, disturbingly wonderful. Thanks for introducing me to so many great authors, will definitely try this one.
that's the best book of his for sure
same as elagabalus?
@@bluebellbeatnik4945 Same person. He had a few different names/titles.
oh man, I was waiting for you to mention Deleuze and Guattari, Anti-Oedipus is a great book. I've read it four times and I'm pretty okay with admitting I don't fully understand it. You'll love it
If you enjoyed it, do search for Cannibal Metaphysics. It's to anthropology what that book was to philosophy, and a delightful bridge between the worlds
Thank you for the preparations you have made for this, all the research that you've put below, the links etc etc... I am watching the Artaud documentary, and I cannot thank you enough for its inclusion. I'm very moved thank you. I have marveled at Artaud's theater, his diaries, essays, his drawings, his acting for three decades since I saw him first, I guess, I must have been 18.
Where is the Artaud documentary?
From what i can tell from anti-oedipus is that "Body without organs" is not the literal body but rather its like a space on which your desire are not understand within the oedipus complex and is free to flow. For D & G basically our desires are like free flowing entities that the oedipus complex puts within its "Theater" where its just a symbol for our oedipul desires.
One of the best explanations I have heard
its the virtual surface before the body on which desire forms, relates and articulates bodies, as you pointed out well - the oedipal triangle is the operation by which the personal body and its desire are exclusively produduced and placed in the theatre of the family and capitalism
Love your vids man keep it up much love
the body without organs is the body without the limits of the body and its organs itself, "the desiring machine," meaning it is a body that no longer has any restrictions placed upon the limits of its desire. They discuss the schizophrenic and the detatchment and absence of concern from the body, meaning they have become the body without organs, a being free to pursue desire without limits or constraints, bascially kind of sort of
Got it - Thanks man, I appreciate it.
I’d love to see cliff do a review on ariostos Orlando Furioso. I feel like his personality would shine like crazy after reacting to all those crazy events in the plot.
Radiohead, 15 Step lyrics:
You used to be alright
What happened?
Etcetera etcetera
Facts for whatever
Fifteen steps
Then a shear drop
How come I end up where I started
How come I end up where I belong
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out then you cut the string. "
Hey cliff
I've been watching your stuff for a couple of years now and really love your work
I've recently read a book by Irvine welsh called Skagboys and I think it's right up your alley
It's a very vile and disturbing book about heroin addicts in 1980s Scotland but not without some good humour
The book is as hilarious as it is deeply moving and unnerving as it's very psychological and gets right into the minds of the many despicable characters which the story is centered around
It's one of my all time favourites and I think you'll enjoy it
Would absolutely love to see you review it
You gonna review the McCarthy releases?
I first heard a work by Artaud at an event in the Turbine Hall in Tate Modern in London twenty years ago.
It was a concert connected to an Anish Kapoor's Marsyas (a giant fabric sculpture filling the Turbine Hall).
The piece performed in English was «Pour en Finir avec le Jugement de Dieu» (To Have Done With the Judgment of God)
It was stunning to hear it performed - as it was originally a radio piece.
I just looked up the event and the music composed by Arvo Pärt called “Lamentate“ was premiered on 07 and 08 February 2003.
self-studying theatre now before i write my second play so I'm curious.
The body without organs (BwO) is sketched loosely in Artaud’s work and is sketched out more fully in the work of Deleuze and Guattari. The BwO is a fundamental force or tendency towards chaos that opposes organization - that is, being tied down or formalized as an organ with a singular function. Organs here are symbolic for fixed ways of being. Artaud seems to have been tormented by the state of being reduced or tied down; part of Artaud’s brilliance is his fervent denial to be what he was perceived as, constantly pushing the boundaries, so much so that he seemed to desire to deny to be what he was to himself. For Deleuze and Guattari, the BwO is a force of production that operates desire (drives) and allows for the possibility of creative action in the face of crippling forces of organization (called forces of territorialization in Deleuze and Guattari). Hopefully that somewhat helps, as Deleuze and Guattari are somewhat of a specialty of mine :)
That’s a good point about his operation in the twilight of sanity and madness. And yes, his voice is extremely unique. I think it boils down to a willingness to see into the molecular structure of hell. Even if it destroys you. He clearly wants to use his humanity to sear vision into all things without prejudice. It’s a bit Hellraiser actually haha! Pleasure and pain are the same to him because they are real. And worth looking into. To us, that seems foreign, because we are not willing to view life on such an empirical plane
Whatever you review, I read that’s the artistry of a good review…amazing work
This was a great review, and I learned a lot! Thank you! 😎
Kia ora (Hello), I have been working towards trying to better understand post-structuralist concepts. There is a good podcast called Acid Horizon with episodes that look at concepts within philosophy. They have several episodes of content that can walk you through The Body without Organs I would recommend Concepts in Focus: The Body without Organs Part.1. Hope this is useful, and I will be keen on getting a copy of this book on Artaud.
Can't beat the French for pushing the boundaries of art and literature. Thanks as always, Cliff.
I had some trouble recognizing the name which Mr. Sargent mentions at 20:17, but I think I finally got it: "Michael Gira".
Great review 👏🏻. New subscriber, enjoyed all the videos I've watched so far 😀
I would love to check out the Ridge Wallet in Damascus! Though I still like the "puddle of gasoline" finish of the current model I have. Sat on my Ridge Wallet for a year long road trip once. Not good. Think Sciatica! Put it in your front pocket. Please.
If you can, you should read Last Exit To Brooklyn or The Demon, both are by Hubert Selby Jr. who wrote Requiem For a Dream
Love your work 💋
Go for it; "Berta Isla"by Javier Marías
I didn't know this but he wrote a book under a pseudonym about "a part of the foot that represents society". It's called "Our Toe"...
Well played, old man.
Body without organs:
- a structure or zone without imposed organization that can be sentient or inanimate. In Deleuze and Guattari's Capitalism and Schizophrenia, it is the raw product of social alienation and destabilization, and a surface on which repressed and uncontrollable desires flow without organization, but with consistency.
- For Deleuze and Guattari, every actual body has a limited set of traits, habits, movements, affects, etc. But every actual body also has a virtual dimension: a vast reservoir of potential traits, connections, affects, movements, etc. This collection of potentials is what Deleuze calls the BwO. The full body without organs is "schizophrenia as a clinical entity" (Anti-Oedipus, p. 310). This drop in intensity is a means of blocking all investments of reality: "the unproductive, the sterile, the unengendered, the unconsumable" (Anti-Oedipus, p. 9).
- (see: embryology of an egg as a BwO)
- BwO cannot be forced or willed into existence, and they are essentially the product of a zero-intensity condition that Deleuze and Guattari link to catatonic schizophrenia that also becomes "the model of death".
- In A Thousand Plateaus, Deleuze and Guattari eventually differentiate between three kinds of BwO: cancerous, empty, and full. Roughly, the empty BwO is the BwO of Anti-Oedipus. This BwO is also described as "catatonic" because it is completely de-organ-ized; all flows pass through it freely, with no stopping, and no directing. Even though any form of desire can be produced on it, the empty BwO is non-productive. The full BwO is the healthy BwO; it is productive, but not petrified in its organ-ization. The cancerous BwO is caught in a pattern of endless reproduction of the self-same pattern. They give a rough recipe for building yourself a healthy BwO:
- This is how it should be done. Lodge yourself on a stratum, experiment with the opportunities it offers, find an advantageous place on it, find potential movements of deterritorialization, possible lines of flight, experience them, produce flow conjunctions here and there, try out continua of intensities segment by segment, have a small plot of new land at all times. It is through a meticulous relation with the strata that one succeeds in freeing lines of flight, causing conjugated flows to pass and escape and bringing forth continuous intensities for a BwO. (Deleuze & Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus, 1980/1987, p. 161)
- [(see: analogy of lotus vs. anchor in a river, the former being a healthy state and the latter not)]
- Deleuze and Guattari suggest restraint here, writing that drug addicts and masochists might come closer to truly possessing bodies without organs and dying as a result. The healthy BwO thus envisions the actual body without organs as a horizon, not a goal.
Please review Cormac McCarthy's The Passenger.
Wow, no red flood comments, good
Good video btw

Just in case you didn't catch the name: The author of "Eden Eden Eden" is Pierre Guyotat.
Mental illness might improve art in some cases, but we never hear from the art that mental illness prevented from
ever being released.
Check out the Zimbabwean author Dambudzo Marechera, he died penniless, sleeping amd writing on park benches, "the enfant terrible of African literature". He and Artaud had lots of similarities re: religion, European society, counterculture views and literature
Some writers lead these interesting lives. You can't help yourself but read everything that they wrote till they couldnt
A good review of Antonin Artoud - A sinister Assassin a book that everyone would remember as a leader of madness sure of the shape of it and more and more and more i am the universal enemy of men...
Hey, I would love to show you a Brazilian book of short stories called "The Sun On My Head" by author Giovane Martins, the most interesting thing about this one is that they take place in contemporary Brazil and on the periphery, in the favelas, showing stories that often are ignored by the local literature, which is still very elitist. Anyway, I hope you read my comment one day haha
he looked like adrien brody
50 sessions?. I went through 3 and it makes you numb. That's the idea. Not going down with depressive thoughts. If its 50.?? ild fashion machines? . its hard to know if its true. I dont think it happened. Many times famous Artist's suffering is exaggerated to ... Sell.
In “The Theatre And It’s Double” Artuad writes that in his “theatre of cruelty” actors should communicate his ideas like “Joan of Arc signalling through the flames”. I graduated from the University of NSW in Sydney, Australia. Double major : sociology & performance studies. Post grad my honours thesis brought together both disciplines, examining Artaud’s seminal role in the development of performance art. He dispensed totally with narrative. In my opinion, Artaud is the most important theatre theorist of the 20 th C. Yes, even more important than Brecht who i find annoyingly didactic . Lastly, he did make the trip to Mexico. Unfortunately, he fell off the donkey he was riding and lost his heroin. Nonetheless, he continued his journey up and over a mountain range. Within an hour he was in abject opioid withdrawal. His guide gave him peyote. He writes of seeing the native Indians squatting and masturbating along the track leading into the village. Of course, there were no Indians masturbating. But he did arrive (just) and took part in the sun ritual of the tribe.
I'd love to see you review Epepe by Ferenc Karinthy
Perhaps the simplest way to express it, in my opinion, the 'body without organs' is an individual who is not influenced. They don't have subconscious influences because they don't have a subconscious, because subconscious drives arise from the internal organs. So, no liver, no heart, no cock, etc. Similar to the Acephalic man on the cover of Bataille's magazine. But not just without a head, without anything at all a creature that is castrated of all internal manipulations. This is also why D&G say the BwO is like an egg: it's smooth, featureless, un-marked by anything from the outside, society, other people.
Personally I think it's a stupid and insane and nihilistic idea, a rejection of everything. But of course it came from the mind of an insane and nihilistic man so it's only natural. I haven't read anti-oedipus yet though.
If you reduce Deleuze and Guattari's Body Without Organs to its most simplistic form, it is just another way of saying "consciousness entering into unchartered territory" or "entering the wilderness without a map". Don't let the complexity of the language in Anti-Oedipus fool you; some of the ideas in that book are not as complicated as they appear at first. But then again, some of them are. It's a good book if you enjoy giving yourself a migraine.
Imagine, to be disappointed the Apocalypse has not occurred.
You should read something light next like Crime and Punishment or Dante’s Inferno. 😂
Hey Clifford, I’ve read Eden Eden Eden a few years ago, and I acquired through an Interlibrary Loan, but would love to acquire a copy. Most used copies sell in the ballpark of $1000, but I agonize over spending even $30 on a book. Just curious if you’re aware of publishing project that’s reissued it? Also, does Infinity Land Press ship to the States? Just curious. - Thanks for the devotion you have to reviewing awesome literature. I faithfully follow your channel and am grateful for you for sharing your erudition and passion.
Hi there, thank you for watching and for your kind words. Yes Infinity ships to the US, and I personally bought this copy of Eden from Vauxhall & Co and it's terrific: www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=31034876479&searchurl=ds%3D20%26kn%3Deden%2Beden%2Beden%2Bvauxhall%26sortby%3D17&cm_sp=snippet-
@@BetterThanFoodBookReviews thank you!
I'm convinced no one in the entire planet knows what a body without organs is. We're all just in different degrees of the delusion of understanding that book. This isn't to say it's nonsense or useless, but I've yet to meet a person that didnt take the question of what the fuck is a body without organs as a sacred and terrible creed of less than knowable origin.
I don’t believe he was entirely an atheist, I believe polytheist or pagan
Pls read Another Country
To many cuts, He would like that.

The Sublimes by Yuri Mamleyev, it's a masterpiece about a serial killer in Russia and his metaphysical speculations. I strongly recommend it to you. I'm sure you will love it.
It might sound strange but Antonin Artaud is a family member I had no idea about. I came to your channel for de Sade's 120 days (terrific review) and will stay for as long as you keep the reviews coming. Revelled in your love of Bataille too.
Thank you for the introduction and fantastic review. I'm now sourcing the books written by Antonin and find the material of his interests extremely familiar. Spooky shit!
If you have any interest; you will understand what I'm getting at if you go to: youtube.com/@ladybabylon974.
Deleuze and Guattari are totally full of crap.
I think you're cute.
Personally, I don't gain much insight from writers like these. I love Poe, but there's an elegance to his disturbing horror. No, Artaud isn't just an eccentric, but a malevolent mind. I also think the "body without organs" is pseudo-intellectualism for athiests, which speaks to its overall insignificance in schools of critical thought.
