Abstract

Antonin Artaud's last radio recording from 1948 is one of his final projects of corporeal transformation: where the visual body is completely absent in radio broadcasting, Artaud's body without organs puts together words, music, screams, glossolalia and laughter as visual attacks where sound is recognized as the real mark of the body. Even if the recordings were not broadcast by the radio station, they are a rare experiment to actively end the process of representation through sound. The scream becomes the means to transmit the body without organs by destroying meaning and representation.
