The subjectile is kind of grounding used in industrial and artistic painting. The word has been used by Antonin Artaud and Jacques Derrida commented its use.〔Derrida J., and Thévenin, P., ''The Secret Art of Antonin Artaud'', Caws, Mary Ann, The MIT Press, 1998.〕 The subjectile is seen as a theory, not a fact; as a theory the subjectile is a tool that can be employed to analyse art objects to generate hypotheses concerning the relationship between subject and object in art. Derrida mentions that the word 'subjectile' appears in an essay〔 ''L’amour de L’art'' 2, no.8, Aout 1921〕 on Pierre Bonnard, published in 1921, which Artaud probably has read. The subjectile refers to Bonnard’s use of cardboard for painting. The (Concise French dictionary ) translates 'subjectile' as 'Art: support (beneath paint, etc.)'. Without a support and ground the subject of a painting could not exist as it would fall away. Derrida argues that Artaud's subjectile is both ground and a support. It is stretched out, extended, beyond, through and behind the subject, it is not alien to the subject, yet ‘It has two situations’. Derrida holds that the subjectile functions as a hypothesis, and is a subjectile itself. ‘Subjectile, the word or the thing, can take the place of the subject or of the object – being neither one nor the other.’〔 Antonin Artaud mentions the subjectile three times in his writing.Jacques Derrida, in his essay, ''To Unsense the Subjectile'' states ‘All three times, he is speaking of his own drawings, in 1932, 1946, and 1947’.〔 The first time Artaud used the word was in a letter to André Rolland de Renéville, ‘Herewith a bad drawing in which what is called the subjectile betrayed me.’〔See: The original text, published in French, Artaud, Antonin, ''Oeuvres Completes'', (Gallimard ) 1964 volume V, pp. 119 - 121.〕 In 1946, ‘This drawing is grave attempt to give life and existence to what until today had never been accepted in art, the botching of the subjectile, the piteous awkwardness of forms crumbling around an idea after having for so many eternities labored to join it. The page is soiled and spoiled, the paper crumpled, the people drawn with the consciousness of a child.’〔See: The original text, published in French, Artaud, Antonin, ''Oeuvres Completes'', Gallimard 1984 volume XIX, p. 259.〕 Finally in February 1947, ‘The figures on the inert page said nothing under my hand. They offered themselves to me like millstones which would not inspire the drawing, and which I could cut. Scrap, file, sew, unsew, slash, and stitch without the subjectile ever complaining through father or through mother.’〔See: Paule Thevenin records the source as ‘Text of February 1947, written by Artaud at Ville-Évrard. Thevenin, Paule, Derrida, Jacques, ''Antonin Artaud, Dessins et Portraits'' Gallimard, 1986. p. 25〕 Jacques Derrida's essay was first published in French titled ''Forcener le Subjectile'' in 1986 by Gallimard and an abridged English translation 〔 Jacques Derrida and Mary Ann Caws, ''Maddening the Subjectile'', Yale French Studies, No. 84, Boundaries: Writing & Drawing (1994), pp. 154-171 (Jstor )〕 was published later (in 1998 by MIT press). For copyright reasons the images published in the Gallimard book were excluded from the later English translation, which contains instead photographs of Artaud taken by Georges Pastier in 1947, the year before Artaud died.〔 The subjectile is commented also by Susan Sontag in her introduction to the edited translation of Artaud's works.〔Artaud, A. 1988 (Selected Writings ), (ed.) Susan Sontag, Berkeley: University of California Press.〕 and further in ''The Antonin Artaud Critical Reader'', which includes texts by Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Derrida, and Susan Sontag.〔Scheer, E. (ed.) 2004 (Antonin Artaud: A Critical Reader ). London: Routledge〕 ==See also== Listen to Antonin Artaud's radio play, ''To Have Done with the Judgement of God'' originally banned from broadcast in 1947.〔Artaud, A. 1947 radio recording of ''Pour finir avec le jugement de dieu'' (To Have Done with the Judgement of God) () Available at: * Khôra 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Subjectile」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
