NIETO SANCHEZ, Varinia. The Modern dream of Becoming Other: Following the Footsteps of Artaud in the Sierra Tarahumara. Lit. mex [online]. 2020, vol.31, n.2, pp.111-138.  Epub 11-Sep-2020. ISSN 2448-8216.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.litmex.2020.31.2.0005.

The central points around which this article revolves are Artaud’s trip to Mexico in 1936, and its subsequent re-readings, as well as the relationships suggested by the idea of the “dream” in this historical and interdisciplinary journey. First, “the Tarahumara dream” of Artaud that questions the identity of the modern subject. Years later and in the context of post-modernity, J. M. G. Le Clézio writes the text “Antonin Artaud ou le rêve mexicain” (Antonin Artaud or the Mexican dream) and addresses the “Mexican dream” from the cross-culturalism and criticism of the West. In parallel, and guided by the texts of Artaud, the filmmakers Raymonde Carasco and Régis Hébraud made between 1976 and 2003 a series of films about the Tarahumara people and about the shamanic dream from a poetic, anthropological and philosophical perspective.
